The
Daniel Webster Law Office
|
|
|
This office is a National Historic Landmark. To visit
this small building is to feel the presence of this
great man. Here are some of Webster's original letters,
his possessions, and artifacts relating to his life
at his beloved Marshfield estate. One can imagine his
meeting here with visiting dignitaries, most notably
the British Lord Ashburton with whom Webster established
the boundary along the Maine border between the United
States and Canada. |
In 1969, the Law Office was moved a short distance away,
to the grounds of the Historic Winslow House on the
corner of Webster and Careswell Streets. The Winslow
House property was purchased by Webster from Dr. Isaac
Winslow in 1844 and became part of the original Estate.
After the fire destroyed Webster's house in 1878, his
daughter-in-law, Caroline, lived here until her new
home (the present Queen Anne-style mansion) was completed. |
