The Hosmer House, a Revolutionary War-era former general store and home, opens its doors once a month for historical programs.

SUDBURY, MA — Just in time for the harvest season, Sudbury's Hosmer House's monthly opening will focus on agriculture in August.
The Sunday event will feature displays focusing on agriculture in Sudbury, including a Joel Nourse horse-draw Eagle Plow used by the Hosmer family and Florence Hosmer's (1880-1978) gardening tools. Nourse, a 19th Century blacksmith, invented the iconic Eagle Plow in Westborough ihe mid-19th Century.
Asher Goodnow built the Hosmer House in 1793 near the corner of what is now Route 27 and Concord Road. It served for nearly 100 years as a home, general store and cobbler shop. The Hosmer family bought it in 1896, Florence Hosmer granted the deed to the home to the town 1959, with the caveat that the building be kept as a historical attraction.
