Architectural History of "The Castle"

The property known today as The Castle began its history when Squire Benjamin Bosworth acquired the site in 1791, at which time an earlier dwelling already stood on the property. Bosworth most likely incorporated portions of that earlier structure into the present house, undertaking a comprehensive rebuilding and expansion from the time of his purchase through the close of the 18th century.
