Law Office
|
This office is a National Historic Landmark. To visit this small building is to feel the presence of this great man. Here are some of Webster’s original letters, his possessions, and artifacts relating to his life at his beloved Marshfield estate. One can imagine his meeting here with visiting dignitaries, most notably the British Lord Ashburton with whom Webster established the boundary along the Maine border between the United States and Canada. |

In 1969, the Law Office was moved a short distance away, to the grounds of the Historic Winslow House on the corner of Webster and Careswell Streets. The Winslow House property was purchased by Webster from Dr. Isaac Winslow in 1844 and became part of the original Estate. After the fire destroyed Webster’s house in 1878, his daughter-in-law, Caroline, lived here until her new home (the present Queen Anne-style mansion) was completed. |
