Ward House Events

Charles Grosvenor Ward died as a soldier in the Civil War.

A slaughterhouse and shop were joined together and added to the barn to create a back ell.

Barns joined

Andrew Henshaw Ward wrote History of the town of Shrewsbury.

Artemas Ward Family monument was erected in Mountain View Cemetery, Shrewsbury Center.

The Henshaw farm, which was adjacent to the Ward farm, had been leased to tenants who paid the Wards with a share of the produce. In 1843 this arrangement ended and the main farm took over all agricultural production.

Thomas Walter died

House expanded

Thomas Ward paid Moses Cloughlin to build a New England style barn,  but it was probably not on the Ward farm; instead, it may have been on the Henshaw farm, an adjacent tenant farm he owned.

Artemas died
