A museum-quality trove of New England architecture and history in our backyard

Guilford CT is notable for having New England’s third largest collection of historic homes, outdone only by Newport, RI and Salem, MA. Encompassing 375 years of Guilford’s architecture and history, this guided walking tour will touch on outstanding examples, some of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. The tour begins at the Henry Whitfield State Museum, proceeds to the Guilford Green and nearby Fair Street, culminating at the Keeping Society headquarters, the Thomas Griswold House, for a catered garden reception and comments by Dennis Culliton, director of the Witness Stone slavery memorial project.
