| Description | In 1688, in a small pleasant valley under the shoulder of Job’s Hill, Thomas Whittier, the pioneer, built the house which was to be the Whittier family homestead. The family lived there for five generations and it was the Birthplace of the Quaker Poet and Abolitionist John Greenleaf Whittier on December 17, 1807.
The Whittier Homestead is an outstanding example of the old New England farm, located on its original site, is substantially the same as when the Poet lived there in 1807 until 1836. The homestead is the setting of his most famous and beloved poem Snow-Bound. Many settings from his poems are recognizable to those who have read them.
