Reviews
"As a descendant of Joseph Capen and Priscilla Appleton plus Mary Estey, my visit here was triply special. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a docent who was friendly, knowledgeable and sympathetic when I banged my head on one of the ceiling beams. I suffer from a rheumatological disease that has shrunk me from 6'2" to 5'8", but the house has compressed even further. If you're tall, please note while the roof of the parler hasn't settled, parts of the hall (on the east side) have. There are numerous artifacts from the time of Joseph's life including a chair made for their daughter and my ggm Priscilla. The second floor is not accessible by the public, but you can get glimpses of it and the entire interior if you cannot make it to Topsfield if you watch Three Sovereigns for Sarah produced by PBS in the late 90s. Several practical scenes were filmed inside the house."
