The Russell/Colbath House is a historic house on the Kancamagus Highway in Albany, New Hampshire. It is located in the White Mountain National Forest, and is operated as a museum by the United States Forest Service. The single story center-chimney Cape style house was built in the 1830s by Thomas and Amzi Russell, and is the only surviving 19th-century homestead in the Swift River valley. The house was owned by Russell descendants until 1930, after which it was used for a time as a summer residence. It was acquired by the Forest Service in 1961, which uses it as a museum and information center.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
