1. Woodcock Garrison House - Town of North Attleborough. The first settler in what was then known as the Attleborough Territory was John Woodcock, who had a farm of three hundred acres on the Ten Mile River. Woodcock built his house in 1669 and was licensed the following year to open a public house or tavern. Woodcock's house was just one of several "garrison houses" built for protection against possible Indian attacks. Similar "garrison houses" were located in settlements such as Dedham, Seekonk, and Swansea. (Submitted on May 16, 2026, by G.W.Bartlett of Hingham, Massachusetts.)
