Josiah Day 1770
Josiah was a farmer and a weaver, and his home and his gravestone suggest his comparative wealth in the community, as they are attractive and well-made.

The Ramapogue Historical Society formed in 1904 to buy his house from the last of the "Day Sisters" and to preserve it for the future. It's a brick saltbox, on its original foundation and was built in 1754!
