1. The Curry Farm Historic District Marker
The Curry Farm Historic District. The Curry Farm Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in June 2021. The 12.56 acre parcel of the original Curry Farm includes a two-story house, barn, chicken coop, small barn, corn crib, and silo representative of a small-scale family farm of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The Gothic Revival house dates to about 1840 and the outbuildings, including a Three-Gable Barn, are circa 1900. The largest alteration to the farmstead was the removal of another large barn directly east of the house, from which the salvaged wood and slate were utilized in renovations to the house. Today, Five Roots Vineyard grows on land that once pastured George Curry's sheep. The overall setting remains rural, agricultural, and maintains the historic integrity of the historic Curry Farm.
