Historical Significance
The house was built around 1710 by Samuel Peck, a prominent local figure. It is an excellent example of early colonial architecture and has been preserved to reflect the lifestyle and furnishing of its time. The home Samuel Peck lived in was destined to be destroyed for a new street, but the Attleboro Chapter, NSDAR, bought this house converting it into a historic house museum. It is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the area.

Acknowledgement: The Peck House is owned by the Attleboro Chapter founded in 1901 by Marion Pierce Carter. The chapter holds monthly meetings at the Peck House, holds house tours and community events. The house has been moved several times, restored and preserved for the community.
