Bachelor's Barter

Bachelor's Barter is a magnificent two and a half story stone house was built in the late 1700's by Captain Samuel Taylor, and it sits one field over from Shakertown. The farm and house were purchased by Captain Taylor's son-in-law John Glover in 1811 at which time two brick wings were added.

The house was restored in 1964 by then-owner James Lowry Cogar with the most recent renovations including the addition of geo-thermal heat and air completed in December, 2008, by the present owner Jim Thomas. The attention to historical detail is seen throughout the house with its original woodwork and hardwood floors.
