 North of the main house stands a 19th-century barn, with an early 20th-century carriage shed set near Greenbush Road south of the house.This area was not settled until the construction of the Crown Point Road in 1759-60 by British military forces, which was roughly aligned on the present roadways in this area, and was one of the first roads to be built anywhere in present-day Vermont.The Atherton Farm property was one of the first to be settled in what is now Cavendish, and had from c. 1770 a structure that served as a tavern.
