The house was begun during the Revolutionary War and completed in sections dating 1785 through 1825. The 18th-century barn was recently reconstructed. With the addition of the old forge in 1972, the complex houses an extensive collection of historical items relating to the town, including Civil War memorabilia, a children’s room, tools, clothing and textiles, a library with archival photos and genealogies, and the last panther killed in Weathersfield (1867). Exhibits change yearly. Activities include an annual antiques show in June, history hikes, lectures, and demonstrations.
