Hoxie House Review

This remarkable old saltbox is virtually unaltered since it was built in 1675. Although occupied until the 1950s, the house was never modernized with electricity or plumbing. Furnishings reflect daily life in the colonial period, with some pieces on loan from Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. Highlights are diamond-shaped lead-glass windows and a collection of antique textile machines.
