Five generations of the Mann family lived at the Mann Farmhouse at the corner of Stockbridge Road and Greenfield Lane, direct descendants of Richard Mann who came to Scituate in 1636.

The main house that now stands is a typical full Cape with a large central chimney. The ell was added and served as a summer kitchen, storage area and workshop.

The artifacts of the Mann family on display in the Mann Farmhouse date from the seventeenth century to the present time. They were given to the Town of Scituate under the custody and administration of the Scituate Historical Society by two of the Mann family heirs.

The artifacts include primitive Pilgrim furniture, carpenter and shoe making tools, military items, china, children's toys, early farming equipment and many valuable documents and books.

The collection reflects the varied trades at which the Manns worked: farming, maritime trade, soldiery in every American war, religion, education, sail making, and more.
