Stowell/Mead House

Just down the street from the Town Hall is the Stowell/Mead House, circa 1840, which now houses the Grafton Historical Society & Museum. The house is an interesting example of "plank" construction. It was made simply by piling two-by-fours horizontally on top of each other, it made a strong and well-insulated house, but used an awful lot of wood, not a problem in 1840. The Historical Society Museum houses an interesting collection of photographs, soapstone articles, household tools, fire equipment, musical instruments, and more.

Grafton’s fascinating past is on display in this award winning museum with a gift shop, rich with artifacts representing over 250 years of history. Exhibits changed annually.
