The Blushing Oyster is on the National Register of Historic homes, and was built by Captain James Bacon Crocker (1804-1883) in 1843. This home is a living example of Greek Revival architecture. It has seen many renovations throughout the years, but despite these changes, many of the original appointments remain in tact. The century old wide plank pine floors, beautiful moldings, and fireplaces are reminders of the gentility and graciousness of times past. Our Captain Crocker was not only a well known ships captain,, but also owned a general store, and in later years presided over the courthouse that was located on the first floor of this majestic home!
