The Macy-Colby House is a historical 18th-century saltbox house and museum. It’s been listed on the National Register of Historic Places for over a decade. Its history dates back to the mid-1600s. Thomas Macy built what is now the Macy-Colby House in 1649. He was known as a merchant and weaver but was also a deputy to the General Court, and Amesbury’s first town clerk. In 1654, Thomas Macy sold his home to Anthony Colby. Since then, nine generations of Colby’s lived in this house. And today it’s one of the oldest standing buildings in the state of Massachusetts.
