WILDER-HOLTON HOUSE
This structure, erected by Major Jonas Wilder, from boards planed and nails wrought on the site, originally possessing a four-fireplace chimney and Indian shutters, is Coos County's first two-story dwelling. Construction was initiated on the noted "Dark Day" of May 19, 1780, which caused work to cease temporarily. Successively a home, a tavern, a church, and a meeting place, it is now a museum.
Located on the northern junction of US 2 and US 3.
The Wilder-Houlton House was listed on the National Register in 1975.
