Synopsis
Discover the Rutland home that anchors a pivotal chapter in American history.
This eighteenth‑century house, once home to Rufus Putnam, sits near the village of Rutland and marks the place where the Ohio Company took shape and settlers prepared for westward expansion.
Preserved as a shrine to patriotic memory, the property is cared for by the Rufus Putnam Memorial Association. The edition aims to restore the house to its Putnam era, display period furnishings, and maintain architectural details that reveal how a well‑to‑do New England family lived in the 1700s. Visitors can explore the front entrance, the old kitchen, the coal‑cracked fireplace, and the view from the terrace across the landscape toward Wachusett.
