Stewardship Properties
Seven of Connecticut Landmarks’ houses are operated as museums with regular open hours for tours, public programs, and field trip visits. Other properties (below) support our mission by providing research opportunities, rental income, historic preservation training and office space.
Amasa Day House
33 Plains Road, Moodus, CT 06469
The Amasa Day House, a rural Federal house showcases how the Industrial Revolution changed the daily life of American families. Located on the Moodus Green, it was constructed in 1816 for farmer, Colonel Julius Chapman, his wife Frances, and their four daughters. Amasa Day purchased the property after Chapman’s death, but later sold off parcels of land as he focused on his roles as insurance agent and banker. The house is open by appointment only as ongoing preservation work is performed.
Amos Bull House
59 South Prospect Street, Hartford, CT 06106
The Amos Bull House – one of four remaining 18th-century buildings in Hartford houses CTL’s administrative offices, archives and essential program and community education space. The garden between the Butler-McCook House and the Amos Bull House is open during the day for Hartford residents to enjoy a quiet green space.
Buttolph-Willams House
249 Broad Street, Wethersfield, CT 06109
With its diamond-paned casement windows, clapboards weathered nearly black, and hewn overhangs, the Buttolph-Williams House harkens back to the Puritan era of New England during the 1600s. Although actually built around 1711, the house reflects the continuing popularity of the traditional architecture imported from England. The house, while owned by CT Landmarks, is operated by the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum.
Forge Farm
Al Harvey Road, Stonington, CT 06378
The site consists of three structures, a saltbox style house used as a single family residence, a small three sided storage structure that was most likely used as a wood shed and a small corn crib once used for storing harvested corn. All are located on approximately twenty acres of tillable land surrounded by woods and stone walls. The property is closed to the public.
