The Deacon Andrew Hetfield House
The centerpiece and headquarters of the Mountainside Restoration Committee, Inc. Built in 1760, completed in 1830, moved to its current location in 1985. Once a home, a tea room, and antique store; now a museum and meeting place for the residents of Mountainside.
The Four Centuries in a Weekend Open House will take place on Saturday and Sunday, October 15 & 16 from 12-5pm.
The Levi Cory House
Built in 1818, this home has served as a private residence, a country home for underprivileged children, and as the original Children’s Specialized Hospital. Relocated in 2013, the house will serve as a museum for children’s interests and contain The Village Shop.
