SUMMARY:Building Archaeology at Stebbins House
DESCRIPTION:A few finds from the attic\nDates: May 22–25\, 27–31 \nHours: 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. \nWitness the discoveries being made and the mysteries we’re encountering as we unpeel the layers of the c. 1799 Stebbins House! What do newly uncovered beams\, paint\, plaster lines\, and brick mortar tell us about the history of this house? How did the Stebbins family use these rooms and move through these spaces 200 years ago? How does our study reveal new evidence about original finishes\, as well as choices made by the Stebbins family (and later occupants) to change or improve their house over time? \nVisit 22 different stations throughout the first floor and—as of May 2026—brand new stations on the second floor\, including a roofline “ghost” and an old cornice visible in the attic! The panels describe what we’re discovering and what questions we’re asking of the building. You will also see how our building investigation will shape our future work as Historic Deerfield restores this important house! \nIncluded with general admission.  \n\nWhat Visitors are Saying…\n \n“What a wonderful\, pleasant surprise to come into this museum building—and actually see the bones of the home! I have learned so much\, spending 1 hour here\, reading each display—and looking at every detail of the construction. Inspiring to think of the social history and the people—the craftspeople—who built this! Please keep doing this during renovations—showing us what the renos reveal—and allowing the public in! Thank you!” \n“This is an amazing look at the research and investigation that goes into understanding the craftsmanship\, the trends – be it building or design/décor! Such a treat! Most historic homes are ‘done.’ You can see some version of it in any town in New England. This is special\, because it’s a different perspective on a ‘historic house’ tour. Frankly—the best one I saw in Deerfield today. I loved seeing how the house has transformed! Thank you for having it open while it’s being restored.” \n“This house is an extraordinary example of the importance of re-examining the past interpretive history of the structure. It offers a rare view of behind-the-scenes work & scholarship. Each room offers new insight into the past with thought-provoking interpretive &  in-person information. This environment of ‘in progress’ work needs to be viewed and savored as an uncommon museum experience.”
