User Rating: Be the first to write a review for Bellamy-Ferriday House & Garden!
Description of this Connecticut Attraction: The Bellamy-Ferriday House & Garden embodies the dramatically different passions of two extraordinary individuals. Bethlehem pastor Joseph Bellamy, a renowned leader of the Great Awakening, the emotional religious revival of the 1740s, built the house around 1754. In 1912, the New Yorkers Henry and Eliza Ferriday acquired it as a summer residence. Around 1915, Mrs. Ferriday designed a formal garden with historic roses, peonies, lilacs and other flowers. The Ferriday's daughter Caroline, cherished the home, recalling that, "In the midst of the delights of Paris, I would stop to wonder...how the new regale lilies were doing." She restored the house, furnished it with Litchfield County antiques and maintained the magnificent garded, refining the property as a breathtaking combination of natural and man-made beauty. A property of the Antiquarian & Landmarks Society, soon to be Connecticut Landmarks.

Butler-McCook House & Garden
For 189 years, home to 4 generations of the same family.

User Rating: Be the first to write a review for Butler-McCook House & Garden!
Description of this Connecticut Attraction: For 189 years the Butler-McCook House & Garden was home to four generations of a family who participated in, witnessed and recorded the evolution of Main Street between the American Revolution and the mid-twentieth century. The house's exterior looks much like it did when it was built in 1782. Behind it is a restored Victorian ornamental garden, originally laid out in 1865. Inside are the original furnishings ranging from Connecticut-crafted colonial furniture to Victorian-era toys and paintings to samurai armor acquired during a trip to Japan. The objects were accumulated over the course of more than 125 years by members of this extraordinary clan, which included physicians, industrialists, missionaries, artists, globe trotters and pioneering educators and social reformers. The new Main Street History Center's keystone exhibition, "Witnesses on Main Street," uses the Butler-McCook families' words and experiences to chronicle their neighborhood's transformation from a clutch of clapboard dwellings, taverns and artisans shops into a modern urban enclave of multi-story steel, brick and stone s | | | |
