A house that shares a namesake with the library is the oldest on the tour. The John Jermain House,(Submitted on September 1, 2025, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)which is on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in 1780 by Revolutionary War veteran Major John Jermain. Part of the house dates back even further because the home combines two structures: a 1600s saltbox house and a Federal house.
