Just off Route 77, this picturesque farm on 10 acres aims to honor, educate and preserve. This property is an 1840 farmstead owned by the Dudley family for more than 300 years, and it is now available as a historic site for the public to explore and enjoy.
The Henry Whitfield State Museum is Connecticut's oldest house that decades ago served as a home and fort for the community. Today it stands a prominent example of Colonial Revival restoration. Since 1899, the house has been operated by the state and restored by architects Norman Isham and J. Frederick Kelly. The site is home to three buildings, including the visitors' center. Visitors can take self-guided tours through the houses three stories, all filled with original furnishings and artifacts dating back to the 17th century. The museum hosts several city events throughout year and is open to school and community groups year-round by appointment.
