Tour the Edmund Fowle House & Museum

Guided tour of the Edmund Fowle House & special 250th anniversary exhibit

Take a guided tour of the Edmund Fowle House & Museum built in 1772, the second oldest surviving house in Watertown.  At the beginning of the American Revolution it served as headquarters for the executive branch of the Massachusetts government from July, 1775, to September, 1776. The Treaty of Watertown was signed on July 19, 1776, in the Council Chamber on the second floor.  This treaty was the first to be signed between the new United States (represented by Massachusetts) and a foreign power (the Mi’kmaq and St. John’s First Nations).

View the current exhibit that celebrates the 250th anniversary of both the Fowle House and the fight for American independence.
