Historic Home To Be Featured On TV Show

MIDDLETOWN, R.I. — A historic Middletown home will be featured on Sunday, June 11, on New England Living, a lifestyle TV show that airs at 11:30 a.m. on Boston CBS-affiliate WBZ TV 4. All episodes of the show can also be viewed on its YouTube channel. (Correction: an earlier version of this article stated that the home was located in Middletown, Conn., and not Rhode Island. We apologize for the error).

During the show, the New England Living TV crew with host Parker Kelley features an historic home filled with style, a dinner party featuring chef Matt Varga of Gracie's in Providence, a visit to Narragansett Creamery, Newport Vineyards and Hopkins Southdowns Farm.

The restored, historic Middletown home was originally built for actor Edwin Booth when the estate was known as Boothden. Booth was a 19th century Shakespearean actor best known for his portrayal of Hamlet and as the brother of assassin John Wilkes Booth, according to a press release.

In the episode, New England Living talks with the architect and landscape designers.

New England Living, a weekly television magazine show, made its debut in April. Click here to watch episodes at its YouTube channel.
