The General Rufus Putnam House

The General Rufus Putnam House

344 Main St
Rutland, MA 01543-1303
United States of America

(508) 886-0200
 

Circa 1750. This historic Georgian Colonial house, listed in the National Register, was the home of General Rufus Putnam, founder of Marietta, Ohio. A memorial tablet on the house states that "to him it is owing ... that the United States is not now a great slaveholding empire." Surrounded by tall maples and a rambling stone fence, the inn rests on seven acres of woodlands and meadows. There are eight fireplaces, blue Delft tiles and a beehive oven. Afternoon tea and breakfast are served fireside in the keeping room. The Guest Cottage can sleep up to eight and is perfect for extended stays.
