The man giving the tour was really nice and had a great personality. He had a great sense of humor. Also, the garden was amazing. A picture perfect opportunity.

An authentic Connecticut historic home in one of the oldest inland towns in Connecticut, Woodbury. The house is beautifully preserved and doesnt even have electricity in most of the rooms. It was the home of Rev. John Rutgers Marshall, his wife Sarah, nine children and three slaves from 1771 to 1786 and is furnished with period furniture including a wonderful collection of furniture made in Woodbury during the 18th century. The garden is amazing and is the only extant garden designed by famous British gardener Gertrude Jeykll in the United States. The house is also the place where the first bishop of the American Episcopal Bishop was named. This act assumed the separation of church and state. This is one of the finest and most authentic historic house museums in Connecticut and perhaps New England.

A wonderful hidden gem. Early Americana home circa 1743 & spectacular English garden by Gertruide Jekyll a early 20th century British horticulturist.

Interesting historical location. A fantastic glimpse into the history of Woodbury and its surrounding area. The annual Halloween event is particularly fun and interesting for the whole family.

Lovely historic home and gardens, pretty shade of blue!

My granddaughter attended camp there and loved every minute of it. Nice place. Thank you for all your hard work
