We explore the Hoxie House (1675) and Wingfort House (1641) — two of the oldest homes in New England — through the eyes of POP Film Contest winner Solomon Antar.
“When a home is erased, the history it holds is erased as well.”
This is why we must preserve the old homes of New England and the stories they tell.
