Known locally as "Thoreau Farm," this farmhouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Wheeler-Minot Farmhouse/Henry David Thoreau Birth House.
From the official website (http://thoreaufarm.org):
"The Thoreau Farm Trust, a nonprofit organization, is committed to preserving Thoreau’s birth house. We believe Thoreau’s extraordinary insights into life, nature, and social responsibility are as relevant today as they were during his lifetime. We hope you will find his birthplace a source of inspiration for living deliberately, practicing simplicity, and exploring new ideas for positive change."
