This Georgian Revival home was built in 1907 by local pharmacist Mr. Kearfott, whose business stood at the same location as the former Amherst Pharmacy on Main Street. Mr. Kearfott and his family lived in the brick house until 1920. In 1922, Wade Wood, a grocer in the town of Amherst for sixty years, purchased the property. His two daughters grew up there, and the house became the scene of many community activities, especially his Sunday croquet games. After his death in 1960, his wife, Mrs. Molly Wood, sold the property to the bank next door, then Farmers & Merchants Bank, but continued living in the house until her death in 1977. The Amherst County Museum purchased the property in 1988.
