The first house on this site was built c. 1704 as a parsonage for Boxford's first preacher, Thomas Symmes.[2] The present house was built in 1760 for the third minister, Elizur Holyoke. This house (as the name suggests) is known for two of the families that resided there, the Holyokes and the Frenches. This house is now owned by the Boxford Historical Society.[3]
