The oldest room in the Claflin–Gerrish-Richards House was constructed in 1662, with additions in circa 1672, 1730, and multiple renovations made in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The ground floor of the house, which includes two rooms interpreted to appear as they may have in the 17th century, is open to the public for self-guided tours and can be accessed any time during regular hours, with the exception of school groups using it for hands-on activities during field trips.

The house was purchased by the Wenham Village Improvement Society (WVIS) in 1921.
