Welcome to the Weeks Brick House! We intend this website to provide a communication resource for one of New England’s great historical treasures. Visit us in person if you are able, or stay updated with our pages here.
Learn more about the house itself and where it fits into history. Learn what we have done with the surrounding land, including a conservation easement, a Colonial garden and walking nature trails. Learn what it was like to live in the Weeks Brick House from the early- to the mid- 1900s.
It was occupied by nine generations of Weeks family until 1968. The Brick House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The organization, Leonard Weeks and Descendants in America, Inc. was founded in August 1975 to bring the property back into the family. Today the non-profit corporation lists its purposes as charitable, historical, literary and educational. Donations made to it are tax deductible, as allowed by law. Please refer to our page “The Last 30 Years” which outlines the progress we have made over that time to advance these purposes.
We invite all members and non-members alike to explore what we offer on these pages. We are looking for ways in which we may be able to give those of you who cannot visit us a better picture of our page in history. Or, better yet, to persuade you to include Weeks Brick House when you next travel in Northern New England.
Contact us with any questions or thoughts: kwweeks@comcast.net.

Web site migration update:
Please bear with us if you find some links or e-mail addresses broken.
We have switched internet providers with the expectation that we will be able to add internet features for our organization and save money at the same time. You may have noticed the "new" look to the web site. While the look is "new" it certainly is not better. The initial efforts were put towards migrating the content of the web site and then we will work towards improving the graphics and layout. Thank you for your patience.
