The General Rufus Putnam House was built in the period 1760-65 by
John Murray, whose daughter married Daniel Bliss. The Blisses came
to live in this house prior to the Revolution. The farmhouse was
confiscated by the State of Massachusetts when the Blisses became
Tories during the War for Independence. Rufus Putnam acquired the
house and 150 acres of land on May 24, 1781, for 993 pounds and
resided here until 1788. From 1896 to 1950 the General Rufus Putnam
House was open to visitors as a museum and maintained by the Rufus
Putnam Memorial Association. When that group disbanded in 1950, the
structure was sold and has since been utilized as a private residence.
