The Wallace House and Old Dutch Parsonage Association is a nonprofit living history home museum preserving Somerville's beautiful Georgian-style Wallace House. The home is best known for its use as a headquarters for General George Washington and his troops during the 1778-1789 Second Middlebrook Encampment. In 1970, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Since 1897, the home has been in operation as a living history museum, originally opened by the Revolutionary Memorial Society. Since 1913, the Old Dutch Parsonage has also been preserved and opened to the public as a joint attraction. Today, visitors can tour both homes as part of guided tours throughout the week or explore their lovely grounds at their leisure as part of self-guided tours anytime.
