Hello Kathy, The Benjamin Abbot Homestead, now over 300 years old, is being well maintained and I am very proud of the placement of the home onto the National Register of Historic Places. I've had the good fortune of visiting Andover several times and it is a beautiful town, very much aware of their historical significance, they have done a good job at maintaining the character and feel of an original Massachusetts locale. I am proud to say, my direct descendant George Abbot and his wife Hannah Chandler, the first immigrants to these shores from England in my genealogy, were a big part of the establishment of the town and eventual expansion in to South Andover in 1660. Their first born son John was first deacon of the majestic Old South Church. I attended their 300th Anniversary celebration last October...it was an amazing day. The church graveyard is the final resting place for over 400 of my Abbot ancestors. There is also a 6 foot granite memorial in the cemetery, erected by descendants of George and Hannah in 1843, to honor them. Take care and it was a pleasure to converse with you. God Bless, Ernie Abbott
