The announcement was made by the office of Secretary of State Paul Guzzi after word was received from the National Párk Service.*. The house had been nominated for inclusion in the register - alisting of historically "important buildings" and sites in the United States bythe Massachusetts -Historieal Commis- sion The house was built in 1648 and may be the-oldest house_in the United Statedtghich has never been sold," accoroiig to Galo Putnam Emerson Jr., its current occupant.
Emérson resides in the house of his ancestors-with hiswife Sally and their 4 children: Accordingto the Massachusetts Historical Commission, the house is significant as the birthplace of General Israel Putnam and the only surviving structure associated with his name. The house is also noteworthy because it has been owned by eleven successive generations of the Putnam family. During the entire 327 years of ifs existence, the residents of the house have earned their livelihood in whole or in part from the land belong- ing with this house. The General Israel Putnam house, was the birthplace and boyhood home of Israel Putnam (1718-1738), American folk hero and a major gcneral of the Continental Army dur- ing the Revolutionary War. During the French and Indian Wars, Putnam became a legendary figure because of his amazing and daring exploits as a scout and Indian fighter.
But hisgreatestpopularity came during the American Revolution.
