Land

The Sea Captain Foster’s Homestead was built in the late 1700 on a land and possibly small house donated by in Law Captain Freeman.

According to records, Family Foster lived on this land until late 1800, when a cholera epidemic hit, and only one child remained and the house was sold for $2000 in 1882 to Melissa Crosby.

Restoration efforts:

Sea Captain Foster’s Homestead has received a small grant from Corpwell.org, a Not-For-Profit specializing in repurposing historic properties while simultaneously bringing them back to represent it’s original aspect. Renovation are also supported by private donations.
