Together we can make a difference!
The North Andover Historical Commission placed a demolition delay on the historic house at 169 Chestnut Street in June, 2025, and now it's our turn to take action.
Did you know that Colonel James Frye III, a hero of the American Revolution, once called this house home? He bravely led 450 militia and minutemen into battle, fighting for our freedom and paving the way for the birth of our nation. For over two centuries, the Frye property remained in the family, and now it's up to us to ensure its legacy lives on.
Let's rally together to raise awareness, funds, and find a solution to preserve this incredible piece of our local history. The clock is ticking, but with your help, we can make it happen!
