Highlights of the Tour:

Original Architectural Features: Explore craftsmanship of 17th century with the exposed wooden timber framing and wide plank floors as well as large central fireplaces, representing the transition from medieval Europe to colonial-era building methods.

Historical Significance: Learn about the rich history of the house, including the stories of its relocation in 1951 and the connection to the Founding Fathers of Connecticut.

Beautiful Grounds: Nestled on the Wethersfield Cove, stroll through the lovely fields behind the house, offering a serene afternoon. 

Recent Renovations meld the Historic with the Modern: The owners recently completed an addition off the back of the historic home.  See how they balanced the integration between the historic and modern eras.
