Interpreters evoke the independent spirit and lifestyle of early America with displays of artifacts dating prior to the founding of Norwich in 1659, through the 1776 Revolution and the Civil War.

Fantastic! Got to meet with the "Paranormal caught on camera" parapsychologist... am I saying this correctly? Brian Cano today, giving tours. Thank you. Also got a tarot reading.
Gorgeous house, stepping in is like entering a time capsule to around colonial times, everything inside is perfectly preserved and the guide staff keep the role going with period clothing as they inform you of what each room's contents were for. I haven't been inside in ages but remember having loved it
Great part of history in Norwich. The volunteers/staff? are fantastically knowledgeable
Great museum.
Definitely a great place to learn about history
The Leffingwell House Museum is a great stop, well worth the time we spent there!
Unbelievable collection of historical items. Best I've ever seen in a historical home/tavern. Three floors with displays. Knowledgeable and engaged docents. In lovely Norwich CT.
Finest outdoor events for covid times
Incredible display of colonial buildings, activities and historical pieces
Arrowhead Paranormal does an investigation around Halloween at the Inn every year. If it isn't on your social calendar it should be. Most fun you'll ever have hanging around a bunch of spirits.
