A visit to The Dudley Farm Museum is a step back in time, a rural retreat from the past, preserved for the future. The Dudley Farm was built in 1845 by Erastus Dudley, a prosperous North Guilford farmer, gristmill and tannery owner. Today, the house, barns and surrounding ten picturesque acres occupy a portion of the land farmed by the Dudley family for almost 300 years.
