The Josiah Day House was built in 1754 by Josiah Day when West Springfield was still part of Springfield. It is the oldest known colonial brick salt-box style home in the United States. The Day House was occupied by four generations of the Day family from 1754 to 1902. The family sold the house in 1902 to a group of people in West Springfield that wished to preserve the house. They organized as the Ramapogue Historical Society which was incorporated July 1, 1903 with twelve charter members. The Society raised some of the money and borrowed additional money from the town to buy the house. The house was opened to the public in 1904. The house is still owned and maintained by the Society, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975
