“The Whitcomb House Lives on”
Presented by Sandy Martin Murray, PhD
Sandy Martin Murray, PhD, is a retired cell biologist, current genetic genealogist, and member of the Littleton Historical Society.
She and her husband David Murray always wanted to live in an “old” house and were fortunate to buy the original Whitcomb estate house in Littleton, one of the few remaining “colonials.”
They feel they are temporary stewards of this historic property and planned on restoring as much of the structural integrity of the house as possible. Sandy will speak on the history of the house (including Whitcomb family genealogy) and the ongoing process of sensitively renovating the 316 year-old house.
At the Congregational Church
330 King Street

Check out the link to the Littleton’s Historic Markers, a page of photos you can click on to see larger, created by Littleton resident and volunteer, Tom Howes.
The Littleton Then & Now project was created by volunteers Andrew Bowers and Andrea Curran, showing historical pictures alongside current day views of Littleton.
Is the Baker-Sargent house on Robinson Road the oldest house in Littleton? An attic beam carved “Built in 1673 by SP” would seem to indicate this, but the truth is far more surprising. Learn who SP actually was, and whose hand carved this inscription in 1673, and for whom!
Friday’s Finds is a new addition to our website, highlighting recent discoveries around Littleton’s history.
