Originally established as a residence for the Knapp family, this historic building traces its roots as far back as the 17th Century. The place was subsequently converted into a tavern to serve troops during wartime. The place was host to various luminaries of the American Revolution, and was later named after Israel Putnam, a renowned veteran. The house underwent numerous changes over the years, but was restored in 1976 to its former glory. Today, it houses a museum telling the story of the events that unfolded here.
