For 175 years, the Homestead built by John Southworth in 1836, stayed within the Southworth family.  In 2012 the Dryden Town Historical Society became the new owner of the residence upon the death of Rebecca Wood Southworth Simpson.  With the gift of the Southworth house came many treasures. This year, we can look forward to seeing more unique objects that were used by the family over the decades. And as always the opportunity to view the original 19th century french scenic wallpaper astounds!

In order to make this treasure available to the public, guided tours are offered. A guided tour takes approximately one hour.   Individual and group guided tours can be arranged at all other times by appointment.   These private tours make great family and organization activities.
