Willey House Details
Located in Crawford Notch State Park, this tragic site has been a popular tourist attraction for almost 200 years. In 1826, a devastating landslide killed seven members of the Willey family, who lived in a small house at the base of the valley. However, the home remained miraculously intact, which has since drawn tourists from around the world to see this historic structure. The house was unfortunately converted into a hotel before it was too severely damaged by nature. Now you can visit the site of where the home once stood and learn more about the events at the nearby interpretive center.
