The John Wells Pratt House Museum is one of Fulton’s most historic sites featured in an original home built by hand by the Pratt family in 1861. Each year, Friends of History in Fulton, Inc. allows the house at 177 S. First St. to open to the public for the summer and fall season to showcase Fulton’s rich history after an annual porch party kicks off the season. This year, the porch party followed a “Let Summer Begin” theme after what seems like months of consistent rain has halted the arrival of warmth and sunshine.
