The Amos Learned Farm is an old farm building in Dublin, New Hampshire. It's a special type of house called a Cape style house. It was built around 1808 by Benjamin Learned, Jr. This farm is important because it shows us what a farm looked like a long time ago. It's even listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which means it's a really important historical site.
About the Amos Learned Farm
The Amos Learned Farm is in a quiet, countryside part of eastern Dublin. You can find it on the west side of Route 137. It is about 0.6 miles (1 km) south of where Route 137 meets New Hampshire Route 101.
What Does It Look Like?
The house is one and a half stories tall. It is made of wood and has a roof with two sloping sides. It also has a chimney in the middle of the house. The outside of the house is covered with wooden boards called clapboards.
The front of the house faces south. It has a main door in the center. The windows are placed in different spots, not in a perfect line. A smaller, one-story part of the house sticks out to the west. There is also a modern garage about 100 feet (30 meters) south of the house.
A Look Back in Time
The house was built around 1808 by Benjamin Learned Jr. He was the son of one of the first people to settle in Dublin. Benjamin Jr. later gave the farm to his brother, Amos Learned, in the same year. Both Benjamin and Amos eventually moved away to Maine.
The farm house is near an old road that is no longer used. This road used to go to Upper Jaffrey Road. Their father's house, called the Learned Homestead, is still standing there. Later, in the early 1900s, people from Ireland and Finland owned the farm. This shows how different kinds of people came to live in Dublin over time.
