Josiah Day House (1754)
Josiah Day built his house in West Springfield by 1754 on land he had purchased in 1746. The house is the only known solid brick saltbox house of it’s period in the United States. The home remained in the Day family until 1903, when it was sold to the Ramapogue Historical Society. It is now a house museum open to the public.
I would like to visit The Day House. I live in Dayton, Ohio.
How may I know when I may visit the house?
I would like visit the students who work at the house and give tours to the local school.
I teach and my last day off is May 30, 2018.

My father’s aunts were the last to live in the Josiah Day House.
