Settled by the English in the 1600s, the neighboring towns of Simsbury, considered the first frontier over the mountains to the west of the Connecticut River Valley, and Avon, once known as the "land att Nod," form an enclave of Connecticut colonial charm. Join us as we explore historic homes that have stood proudly in these communities for centuries!This tour will bring you inside several colonial-era homes found in these two locales, with many more highlighted from the comfort of our charter bus.
Vernacular farmhouses, Georgian and Federal homes, and the saltbox home are some topics of colonial-era architecture that will be seen and discussed on this tour, along with stories about the people and history of these places.
Interior stops include the 1690 Amos Curtis saltbox, a handsome brick 18th-century residence, the circa 1735 Joseph Mills House, and more!
