The Stetson–Ford House is a historic First Period house at 2 Meadow Farms Way in Norwell, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of this 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1674 by Thomas Stetson, the son of one of the area's first English settlers. It was rebuilt and enlarged in the 1780s by the family of Michael Ford, who were leading shipbuilders of the area. The house was in Ford family hands into the 20th century, and is now owned by the town.[2]
