The 20 Oldest Homes in the United States
11. The Third Haven Meeting House in Easton, MD
Although this isn’t a traditional home lived in by a family, the Third Haven Meeting House is all by accounts a house, which is why it makes this list. It was built in 1684 using timber cut down from the surrounding land and served as a meeting place for the Religious Society of Friends, making it an important site in Quaker history. Following the guidelines outlined by Easton’s Historic District Commission, the white clapboard house has been meticulously maintained over the years and is still used by the Quakers today, who invite others to join them for their services.
