The core structure of Swallowfield was built on land grant land. The life of the Swallowfield dwelling parallels the life of the nation….from a very small structure, at the beginning to the addition added prior to the Civil War and to the final addition during the Victorian Period…… the house was originally on 100 acres of farmland throughout. The barn and springhouse still exist, the house still carries its history proudly and enhanced as a well restored house with all the amenities of a new house. Historically, this property was a recognized stop for the underground railroad too. It is on the National Register of Historic Places too. Truly magnificent property.
