Liberty Farm - Worcester MA - Civil Rights Memorials on Waymarking.com

The brick house was built in 1810 in a Federal style. It was added to the National Historic Register in 1974. Abolitionists and suffragists Abigail Kelly and Stephen Symonds Foster owned the house from 1847 to 1881 and refused to pay taxes on the house because of Kelly's lack of suffrage.
