Guilford boasts the third largest collection of historical homes in New England, and the Town Green is noted as one of the most beautiful in all of New England. Originally built for Fred Fowler and, in the late 1800's, it was home to Captain Oliver Brooks and his family when he retired as the lighthouse keeper on Faulkner's Island off the coast of Guilford. A photograph of Captain Brooks in front of the home is on display, and will be passed on to the new owner. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of Guilford's history.
