The house was built in 1809 for William Hammatt, a New England sea captain. The Hedges, a family of entrepreneurs, purchased the house in 1830 and lived there until 1919.[2] The house was originally located on Court Street but was moved to Water Street by the Antiquarian Society in 1919. It is open during the summer months.[3] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
