Built in 1840, this house was the birthplace and summer home of Lillian Nordica (1857–1914), one of the leading operatic sopranos of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Nordica Homestead is a 1+1⁄2-story wood frame Cape style house, with a clapboard siding and a granite foundation.

The interior retains original pine flooring, painted with spattered colors, and wallpaper.

The house built in 1840 by Edwin Norton, a local farmer with large landholdings in the Farmington area.

She received vocal training at the New England Conservatory in Boston, Massachusetts, and had an illustrious career in the opera under the stage name "Lillian Nordica".
