A house was documented to stand here in 1731, when Lamb's sons divided the property. The Lambs were prominent in the establishment of the Baptist congregation of Groton, the first of that sect in the state, and maintained association with the congregation well into the 19th century. At the time the property (reduced from a maximum of over 300 acres (120 ha)) was listed on the National Register in 1991, it was still held by the Lamb family.[1]
