Explore The
Martha Parsons House
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.
Explore The
Wallop School
Built about 1800 to replace an earlier schoolhouse, the Wallop School Museum was one of the last one-room schools in use in Connecticut. Today it is a place to learn what school was like in the days before the Internet or even electricity and plumbing.
Explore The
