The Richard Jackson house was constructed circa 1664 by Richard Jackson, a woodworker, farmer and mariner. The wood frame house had additions over the years including the addition of the lean-to portion which was added prior to 1715. The house add other additions in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when the house accommodated multiple family groups from the Jackson family.
