Former Site of Edward Jackson's Home

In 1670 Edward Jackson built his saltbox home on this location in Newton, Massachusetts. Forty- four of his descendents were in the Revolution. One, Major Timothy Jackson, who joined at 15 and served in the Militia, on privateers, and was in a British army prison, built this home in 1809, using some materials from the original house. In 1945 it was given to the City of Newton to serve the community as a museum. 44187 Pub. by Tri-Con Colour, Southborough, Mass. 01772 Photo by Yankee Colour Corp.
