Beginning August 10, the Palmer-Warner House in East Haddam will be open for tours on the second Saturday of each month, May-October, from 1 pm-4 pm. Visitors will be able to plan a tour of the house in conjunction with a visit to any number of attractions in the beautiful East Haddam area. New exterior signage and freshened-up interiors will also support this shift to a seasonally-operating historic house museum from an appointment-based experience. Connecticut Landmarks’ collections team continues their documentation work, and infrastructure improvements and capital investments are in progress at the site.
“This is an important new phase of the operations of this site that complements the slate of innovative public programming already taking place,” remarked Director of Public Engagement & Marketing Shaelyn Amaio. “I am so grateful for Site Administrator Lynette Fisher’s vision, initiative, and care in seeing this through.”
With the addition of Open Tour days at the Palmer-Warner House, Connecticut Landmarks’ interpretive arc spans from 1678 (Hempsted Houses) to 2005 (Palmer-Warner House).
