Rice Homestead-Mayfield Historical Society

The Mayfield Historical Society has the honor of preserving one of its local historical treasures, The Rice Homestead. Built in 1810, with an adjoining 1790 cabin, the Homestead has merited a New York State Department of Education official historic marker and is on both the National and State Historic Registries. It is considered a fine, well-preserved example of a Federal-era farmhouse. The home is now a museum maintained by the Historical Society and contains a potpourri of historical treasures from the Rice Family and the Mayfield area.
