Colonel James Barrett Farm
Historic House
Home and farm of Colonel James Barrett, the senior militia commander. British soldiers marched here on April 19 searching for hidden military supplies, but found little—the colonists had moved most stores.
What Happened Here
The British search party was delayed by a swollen stream and suspicious locals. By the time they reached the farm, most supplies had been hidden in nearby woods and fields. Barrett's wife reportedly fed the British officers breakfast.
