Construction of the Henry Whitfield State Museum began in 1639 when a group of English Puritans, including Reverend Henry Whitfield and his family, entered into an agreement with the Menunkatuck band of the Quinnipiac tribe and renamed the area Guilford. Built of local granite, it is now considered to be Connecticut’s oldest house and New England’s oldest stone house. The site is a State Archaeological Preserve and is an important example of Colonial Revival restoration work, therefore named a National Historic Landmark.
