Docent-led tours of historic Judson House and entrance to the Catharine B. Mitchell Museum where current exhibitions include Revolutionary War and Civil War memorabilia, and a display of woven samples from the draft book of Silas Burton, an early 19th-century Stratford weaver. Last tour at 3:00 p.m.
Built circa 1750 by Capt. David Judson on the site of his great-grandfather's 1639 stone house, Judson House is a fine example of Georgian achitecture with its impressive broken scroll pediment entry. It is furnished with period pieces of Stratford origin. The beautiful paneled "west roome" contains an early piano which belonged to William Samuel Johnson, framer of the U.S. Constitution, and the second president of Columbia University. An outstanding collection of Chinese porcelain is displayed in the dining room as well as a circa 1750 Crown Great Chair (Heart and Crown), a form unique to this area.
