14 High St, Newbury, MA 01951
From the HistoricNewEngland.org website, I read, "The Coffin House story follows one of Newbury’s founding families through 1929. See two early back-to-back kitchens where the extended family cooked meals. Coffin House has wallpaper dating to 1815, one of the only surviving butteries in New England, and a fine collection of local furniture and objects. The house is furnished with items passed down in the family, and much of the interior remains unchanged since the nineteenth century." Tristram and JudithCoffin were the first Generation of Coffins. Read the website to learn about the other generations.
The room below has an enormous long table and chest that came with them from England. At the end of this post, we were given an information sheet about the house and the genealogy of the Coffin line for several generations. I don't know if you'll be able to see it clearly because it's quite light. We were told that all the furniture had been donated by various Coffin descendants and in almost every tour there is a person related to this line. I have quite a few Coffin surnames in my line and met a direct line descendant on the tour.
This chest and table apparently came with the earliest Coffins from England.
I enlarged quite a few photos, for a clear picture.
