Heritage House is a 175 year-old farmhouse in New Hampton, NY. Built by Theodore J. Denton circa1850, each of our four guestrooms is named for one of home's owners over the past two centuries. In 1870, Theodore sold the property to his twin sister, Mary Mills (born Mary Adelia Denton). Though married at the time (second wife of James L. Mills), Mrs. Mills was able to own the property due to New York passing the Married Women's Property Act in 1848 and the Act Concerning the Rights and Liabilities of Husband and Wife in 1860. Upon her death in 1909, Mary bequeathed the parcel to Susan Murray (b.1850 Ireland).
Susan was the long-time housekeeper of Mary Mills. Susan lived in the house until her passing in 1924. The son of Mary's Husband, J. Albert Mills, continued to live in the home until his death in 1929. Susan and Albert are buried together at Pine Hill Cemetery.
