The Society of the Founders of Norwich, CT was organized October 10, 1901 as a genealogical society but in 1959 galvanized into action to save the circa 1675 Leffingwell Inn from demolition to make room for a highway.
Through years of meticulous dedication to restoration, the Leffingwell Inn is fully restored with authentic examples of colonial heritage, artifacts and furnishings dating from the 1600's through the 1800's. Tours, demonstrations and special exhibits are available on Saturdays from Noon - 4 p.m. May through October and by appointment. Donations are gratefully accepted. Membership to the Society is open to the public. Please visit our website www.leffingwellhousemuseum.org for further information. |
