Barrows House Offers View Into Attleboro History
Bill Lewis got involved with the Deborah and Roger Richardson Preserve through serving as a site steward along with other members of the Attleboro Geocachers Alliance. After helping to repair the exterior of the Barrows House, his passion for history led him to dig deep into historical records for the property and the family that lived there for more than two centuries. Drawing on these records, as well as a general knowledge of how colonists were able to survive and prosper using the technology of the times, Bill has developed a detailed history of the Barrows House and farm.
He shared this story at a meeting of the Attleboro Historic Preservation Society on March 21. For a short interview with Bill, check out this YouTube clip by our local cable company, DoubleACS:
