...The Daggett House opened to the Public in 1905 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.  A tour of the nine fully furnished rooms is history in action, with facts and lighthearted stories that will warm your heart. The Pawtucket Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution leased the House in 1902 and began its restoration. The house contains an impressive collection of Revolutionary, Civil War and 18^th & 19th century memorabilia and antiques.

George Washington’s diary indicates that he stopped at the Daggett homestead on his way from Newport to Boston. The house was very near the Old Post Road (Newport Avenue, Rte 1A). .

The Daggetts who built this house in 1685 were descendants of John Daggett who came to America in 1630,and settled in Weymouth, a part of The  Massachusetts Bay Colony. Members of the Daggett family lived in the house for 248 years. The land (now Slater Park), was the first landing place of Roger Williams and his small band of followers after he was driven from Salem.

Governor Winthrop of the Plymouth colony advised Roger Williams to move off the land as it was considered part of the Bay Colony.  Five years later, Roger Williams located in Providence. It was then that Governor Winslow and John Brown purchased considerable land on the easterly side of the Blackstone River for a company of Weymouth colonists, which included John Daggett.

The original House was built in 1643-1644, then burned down by Indians during the King Philip War in 1675-1676 and rebuilt in 1685 by the second John Daggett.
