Persen House

Opens Thursday at 9:00 AM

Stockade District, Kingston

"leaves it up to you to imagine what the rooms were like"
Look for actual burn marks above the doors from 1777
Grab free coloring books as souvenirs

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.
