June 26th Macy-Colby House and marker

Near town was this pleasant older building, also on the National Register:  Been around a long time!

And the Marker:

1630 - 1930
Thomas Macy, first town clerk of Amesbury, erected this house prior to 1654. Persecuted for harboring Quakers he sold the house and fled to Nantucket, becoming the first white settler as related in Whittier's poem "The Exiles."
