Now home to the Henry Whitfield State Museum, the house dates back to 1639, when Reverend Henry Whitfield and other English Puritans founded the town of Guilford as a place of religious freedom. Local granite was used in its construction, which gives the house a rustic look that blends seamlessly into the surrounding Connecticut countryside. The museum today provides visitors with three floors of antique furnishings and relics from the area's history. Pore over the archives or wander the landscaped grounds past centuries-old stone walls, a cannon dating back to the War of 1812, and a statue of Henry Whitfield himself.
