The Remick family settled in Tamworth over 200 years ago. Six generations of the same family worked the farm, prospered, and were active in the town’s history. The last two generations of the Remick family produced country doctors: Dr. Edwin Remick and Dr. Edwin Crafts Remick, each of whom served the rural community where they were born and raised. Together they provided 99 years of continual medical care for the residents of Tamworth and surrounding towns.

Before he died in 1993, Dr. Edwin “Doc” Crafts Remick created a foundation to preserve the family homestead, farm, and history of the country doctor in a way that the public could directly learn from and enjoy. The Remick family’s 200-year history in Tamworth gives us all a glimpse into how people farmed, worked, and played in this idyllic landscape.
