I had been to the Webb Deane Stevens Museum over the summer. It was a nice tour, but nowhere as entertaining as the "Witchcraft and Tombstones" Tour that I joined in on Saturday, October 20th. And what a beautiful day it was. It had to be about 70 degrees, with the perfect amount of sun and wind. Could not have... More

The three houses are authentic and well preserved examples of 18th C American domestic architecture and all are furnished in period style. These are not reconstructions but the real thing! See them.

Part of four historical museum buildings to visit while in the town of Old Wethersfield, this tour should be on your 'must do' list. In other words you will want to plan a day or weekend here to see into its historical past. Wethersfield is post card beautiful with tree-lined streets, lanes and many quaint buildings in the area to... More

Nestled in a small New England town, this is a very informative museum.

I brought my aunt (who is an antiques buff) here on a whim and I am definitely glad we came. We got a tour from a knowledgeable and friendly woman who answered all sorts of questions about the houses and the families who lived there from the two of us and one other couple. A four-person tour meant having the... More

Not three, but FOUR historic homes (counting the affiliated Buttolph-Williams House, which is the oldest of them all) with period furniture. Authentic wallpaper in the bedroom where George Washington slept. Knowledgeable and friendly docents. Four glimpses into the much, much less plush lifestyle that existed, even for middle class families, before the Industrial Revolution. I had seen these houses 20... More

Very interesting guided tour lasting 1 hour of the three homes including information on the architecture, owners' history and famous visitors. Also available was a shorter 30 minute highlights tour for those pressed for time. The gardens behind one of the properties was recently restored and was interesting and pretty to see. Around Christmas time they decorate the homes so... More

Information is included on the owners' involvement with the Revolutionary War, period furnishings, and tales of George Washington's visits. The room in the Webb house where Washington slept still retains... More
