Goodale Homestead

The Goodale Homestead is a historic First Period house on Chestnut Street in Hudson, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of this 2-1/2 story timber frame house was built in 1702, making it the oldest existing building in Hudson. Built by John Goodale, it has been home to a number of his notable descendants, including Abner Goodale, a soldier in the American Revolutionary War, and Abner's daughter Lucy Goodale Thurston, one of the first American Protestant missionaries in Hawaii. The house is believed to have served as a stop on the Underground Railroad.[2]
