Museum Profile
Plainville Historical Commission
The Humphrey House was built roughly around 1715 as a private home for James and Dorcas Fairbanks Humphrey of Dedham. It changed hands and families several times from 1715 through 1930. In 1930 the town of Plainville purchased the house as the first stand-alone library in town. In 1988 with the construction of the new public library, the Humphrey House was turned over to the Historical Commission and serves as a Museum to the Town's history and research center.
