"When people believed the Earth was flat, the idea of a round world scared them silly. Then they found out how the round world works. It is the same with the world of the supernatural. Until we know how it works, we will carry around this unecessary burden of fear"
-Dr John Markway

Fairbanks House

This September, the TAPS Home Team will become the first group ever to investigate the Fairbanks House in Dedham Mass (http://www.fairbankshouse.org/).  This invitation is an honor that we are so grateful for!

Built  for a family of Puritan immigrants from Yorkshire in England, Jonathan and Grace Fairebanke and their six children, the Fairbanks House is thought to be the oldest timber frame structure in North America.  It was built in 1641. It has been home to eight generations of the Fairbanks family and stands as it did in the 18th century when it was last added on to. The homestead has nine rooms,  a sand cellar and a stone foundation. 


This amazing historical gem is open to the public from May to October and tours are available Tuesday through Sunday.  Visit the website for hours and more information.  If you visit, consider bringing a donation of D batteries as it is reported that battery drain has become a costly problem!
