The Duff-Baby House is celebrating its 225th anniversary this weekend.

The house, built in 1798, is named after two of its previous owners Alexander Duff and James Baby. It is recognized among the most significant late eighteenth-century landmarks in the region.

On Saturday and Sunday, there will be free tours of the site and activities set up for the whole family to enjoy. Activities include exploring lost arts like basket weaving, and talks hosted by local historians.

The Duff-Baby house is located at 221 Mill Street.

A full schedule of events can be found here.
