The Marshall Homestead

Located at 379 Pleasant St. Tewkbury, Massachusetts, the Marshall Home is the oldest house still standing. Built in 1728, the Marshall home now stands, beautifully restored on the Marshall Brook Farm development.  
"...the historic Thomas Marshall Homestead, which was built in 1728, making it the oldest standing home in Tewksbury. Until recently, it had been occupied by generations of Marshall family members, since they first settled the property in the early 1700’s. Believed to be one of the first settlers of Tewksbury, which at the time was part of Billerica. The primary use of the land was farming. At one time the family had several hundred acres with crops and live stock. Currently the home is planned to be renovated and then sold."- Marc P. Ginsburg & Sons, Inc.
