History & Origin
Built in 1782, the Martha Parsons House Museum is a beautiful old New England home filled with generations of Parsons family heirlooms. Much more than that, it was home to Martha Parsons (1869-1965), a 2010 Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame inductee. Her story is one of a highly successful businesswoman in an essentially male-only business world.
Our friendly volunteers are here to share Miss Parson’s (as she was known) story with you as you tour her home. Fans of antiques won’t be disappointed either, nor will anyone interested in early homes. You will be surprised at how much there is to see, so plan to spend at least an hour.
For a taste of what you will see visit our virtual exhibits below.
The Martha Parsons House Museum is on the Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame Heritage Trail. Click here to learn more about The Heritage Trail.
