Webb Deane Stevens Museum

Four Remarkable 18th Century Houses

Located in the center of Connecticut’s largest historic district, the Webb Deane Stevens Museum [1] provides the quintessential New England experience. Old Wethersfield is a quiet town just south of Hartford that is known for its shade covered streets and lanes lined by over 300 historic houses 50 of them built before the American Revolution. There are historically and architecturally significant churches and public buildings, an ancient burying ground, a variety of small shops, local farm stands, casual dining, and a scenic park overlooking the Cove that connects to the Connecticut River.

Admission to the Webb Deane Stevens Museum, owned and managed by the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Connecticut, includes our exhibition galleries in the Holcombe Education Center [2], access to our 8-acre campus and gardens, and a tour of our four remarkable 18th century houses, three of which are National Historic Landmarks:

The three Webb Deane Stevens Museum-owned houses stand on their original foundations next door to one another on Main Street in Wethersfield. The Webb Deane Stevens Museum’s Colonial Revival Garden [9], based upon the 1921 design of Amy Cogswell, one of the first female landscape architects in the United State, and the Webb Barn [10], a popular site for meetings and weddings, are behind the Webb House.
