Stone Bridge Farm B&B

The Stone Bridge Farm was the home of Captain Nathaniel Carr, a successful (and later convicted) counterfeiter who built this brick federal home in 1826.  In the kitchen there is a beam with his signature on it.  Captain Carr, who served in the War of 1812, was also instrumental in getting the Town of Hillsborough to build the stone bridge named "Old Carr Bridge" just down the road.   This bridge is an amazing feat of stone craftsmanship, built completely without mortar, just carefully cut and fit granite.  After Captain Carr's conviction and imprisonment the home passed to the Jones family for which it stayed until 1926 when the Judd family purchased it for lumbering purposes.  Herbert and Eleanor Judd purchased the home from the family in 1954 and began renovating and modernizing.  Jeff and Abby purchased the Stone Bridge Farm in 2002.  Outdoor and garden enthusiasts, moving from the suburbs of Boston had become a priority since their two children were out of the house.  It was love at first sight for both of them as they drove over the 200 year old stone bridge and onto the quiet dirt road that led to this wonderful home in a historic, rural community.  Soon after moving in they launched into a full renovation of the wing that attaches to the brick, creating an comfortable space with two bed & breakfast rooms, each with private baths on the second floor.   Both Jeff and Abby have backgrounds in food and come from a long line of passionate cooks.  Their motto is - life is all about food and eating well.
