The Peck Homestead (open), 3 Elizabeth St., is now the headquarters of the Attleboro Chapter of the D.A.R. Built in 1706, this red gambrel-roofed one-and-a-half story dwelling is the oldest house in Attleboro, and has been the homestead of a
single family for 230 years. The low-ceilinged interior is furnished in early American
style with many relics and antiques. Each room contains a fireplace and the doors have their original latches.
