NOTE: During this 2026 season, the Indian House Memorial is the site of our special exhibit, Brewing Massachusetts–How Beer Shaped the Bay State. Learn more here.
Stay tuned for the return of hands-on activities for families in the future: Experience the past with these ongoing hands-on activities: dress in 18th century clothing; play with old-time toys; card and spin wool; read from a hornbook; write with a quill pen; make a tavern game; carry buckets; find out what’s for dinner in a 1700’s kitchen; and mind your 18th century manners!
The “Indian House” was built in 1929 as a replica of the famous 1699 Ensign John Sheldon House. Located at 107 Main Street, the house is a few doors north of the Deerfield Inn, on the same side of the street.
INDIAN HOUSE MEMORIAL is open this season from May 30–October 11, 2026, Friday–Sunday 11 am-4:30 pm with our special exhibit, Brewing Massachusetts–How Beer Shaped the Bay State.
