Historic Stanley-Whitman House in Farmington

Stanley-Whitman House

Stanley-Whitman House, a ca. 1720 National Historic Landmark in the heart of Farmington, Connecticut, is more than a museum; it is a living storybook of New England’s colonial past. For nearly a century, this house museum has welcomed visitors to step back in time and discover the rhythms of daily life in 18th- and early 19th-century Farmington. We offer guided house tours, seasonal programs, school field trips, and hands-on workshops that illuminate history through experience. From hearth cooking and foodways demonstrations to gravestone cleaning workshops and walking tours of Memento Mori Cemetery, each program brings to life the traditions, struggles, and resilience of early residents. Our growing America250 initiatives highlight Farmington’s role in the Revolutionary War, showcasing both well-known patriots and underrepresented voices, including women, Indigenous peoples, and African Americans. Our interpretive gardens, artist interventions, and rotating exhibits connect the past to the present, while our partnerships with local schools, historical societies, and cultural organizations deepen community impact. The Stanley-Whitman House also serves as a resource for genealogists, researchers, and heritage travelers who seek authentic connections to New England history. What makes us unique is the way we blend scholarship with storytelling, preservation with participation. Visitors don’t just learn history here; they touch it, taste it, and walk in its footsteps. Whether you join us for a house tour, attend a lecture, bring your students, or support us through membership and special events like our annual Progressive Dinner, you become part of a tradition of keeping history alive for future generations.

Ye Olde Lebanon Towne Militia, Company 1775, camps on the historic grounds of the Stanley-Whitman House for a full afternoon of immersive Revolutionary War living history. The group portrays soldiers and civilians of Connecticut's Third Regiment, bringing both military and domestic life to the grounds: drills, inspections, beekeeping, a period surgeon, crime-and-punishment demonstrations, and hands-on musket drills for younger visitors. Farmington had its own men in that war: Bayze Wells, a Farmington sergeant whose journal of Continental Army service from 1775 to 1777 documents the same supply shortages, improvised rations, and winter hardships that the militia's interpreters bring to life on the grounds.
The encampment is free and open to the public. The historic house will be open for guided tours at regular admission rates. The Roots and Reflections painting exhibition by Rachael and John O'Shaughnessy is free to view in the Spear Classroom and Whitman Tavern, and the museum store will be open throughout the afternoon.
Part of the <a href="https://s-wh.org/farmingtonct250" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">FarmingtonCT250</a> programming series at Stanley-Whitman House. Stanley-Whitman House is a proud official affiliate of the America 250 | CT Commission. Join us for these commemorative events.

Author &amp; Illustrator Meet &amp; Greet | Book Signing
What does it mean to be an "activist"? To us, it’s simple: it means taking action on the things you care about. It doesn’t have to be a BIG action to make a BIG difference.
Join us at Barnes &amp; Noble Blue Back Square, West Hartford on Sunday, May 31st (1–4 PM) to meet local mother-daughter duo Kimberly Haidinger and Luna Hansen!
We are on a mission to normalize activism and show middle-grade readers that their passions—whether in art, writing, or science—are exactly what the world needs right now.
Why you should stop by:
🎨 Meet the Teen Illustrator: My daughter Luna (a local high school freshman) will be sharing her original artwork and talking about how she uses her creativity to advocate for the environment.
🧠 The Climate &amp; Economics Challenge: Think you know your climate vocabulary? Take our quick quiz! Every kid who tries gets a raffle entry for a Barnes &amp; Noble gift card!
📖 Summer Brain Gain: Our books are designed to build the "power words" kids need to feel confident in the climate conversation. It's the perfect summer reading to prepare them for a lifetime of leadership.
We want to recruit a whole community of planet-helpers in West Hartford, Farmington, and all the surrounding communities!
Come meet like-minded families, get inspired, and grab your signed copies of the Climate Action Vocabulary Series.
We can’t wait to meet the next generation of changemakers!
