Reviews
there are 2 homes here a 17th century & 18th century which makes this a very nice stop. i have always said if you look close there is alway something different in the way older are built. i'll give you a hint. a window in one and a granitic rock in the other. make sure you ask but the guide was very good and great history to these from. more than worth stopping
Wonderful historic location with an amazing staff to tell the Hempstead story. You almost feel like you knew the Hempsteads by the time you leave. They also host events very frequently. Fun for all ages. Don't miss out.
I went there for a cool historical event. I think it should have been a bigger festival bit it was good for the small event that it was.
Great museum about a local man and his family
I have to admit that I am a docent at the Hempstead museum, so I am biased. This is a wonderful historic property in the heart of New London, itself a city steeped in history. The wood house was built in 1659 with an addition in 1728. The stone house was built by Arcadian refugees in 1759. The Hempsteads lived in this house until 1940.....nearly 300 years of family history. This house has seen the growth of the American colonies, the birth of the American Republic, and endured generations of struggle, toil, conflict, and triumphs. The houses have been restored to their colonial appearances and we have outfitted the rooms in a manner that would have made Joshua Hempstead the third resident of the house feel quite at home. We are a member of Connecticut Landmarks and have a Facebook page which we update with events.
Houses that survived the burning of New London by Benedict Arnold during the Revolutionary War. Very interesting history, artifacts and tour guides.
Wonderful and knowledgable staff gave us a very thorough tour. Historic New London. Very interesting.
