The Avery-Copp House is located in the Groton Bank National Register Historic District and can be visited on the web at www.AveryCoppHouse.org. The historic house was built in the colonial style in the early 1800s and Victorianized at the turn of the 20th century. The furnishings are original and reflect generations of the American family that lived here for 200 years. Two Victorian gazebos sit above the house on the terraced lawns of the riverside property. Visitors to the house learn about the history of Groton by exploring domestic life as it was experienced in this house and the surrounding community.
