Samuel Poole House

Reflecting the agricultural prosperity of the 1850s, this restored farmhouse replaces an earlier log home, retaining its heritage charm with traditional-style six-over-six windows, returned eaves and a sweeping veranda. Exceptional gardens are featured alongside an original bank barn and outbuildings that display the agricultural roots of the property: once containing a cheese factory, tenant house and blacksmith shop.
