WILDER-HOLTON HOUSE

This structure, erected by Mayor Jonas Wilder, from boards planed and nails wrought on the site, originally possessing a four-fireplace chimney and Indian shutters, is Coos County's first two-story dwelling. Construction was initiated on the noted Dark Day of May 19, 1780, which caused work to cease temporarily. Successively a home, a tavern, a church and a meeting place, it is now a museum.

Wilder-Holton House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 11, 1975.
