Persen House

Stockade District

Kingston's oldest house bears burn marks from 1777 above the doorway and layers of history dating to 1661. Instead of period furnishings, each room displays artifacts found on-site—ivory dominoes, leather shoes, oyster shells—letting you piece together centuries of life.
