On the weekend you could make the ten-minute trip to Suffield to enjoy another piece of Connecticut heritage. The oldest parts of the Phelps-Hatheway House, on the southern ell, are from the 1730s, but the house was extended throughout the 18th century, with what is now a central block in the 1760s and a northern ell in 1795. This gives the property a sprawling aspect, with each section capped with a genteel gambrel roof. Those final changes were designed by architect Asher Benjamin early in his career, and ordered by the wealthy land speculator Oliver Phelps. The interior is enriched with a superb collection of 18th-century antiques, and outside is a formal parterre and a generous herb garden, all sprinkled with flowering shrubs and tended by the Suffield Garden Club.

I am a wedding photographer and Della Bella Photography highly recommends this venue. This historic location offers a great house for brides to get ready, a ceremony location inside and out, and a rustic location for your reception. The hydrangea trees are amazing on this private property, and the old building provide a great backdrop.

I visited the garden during cT historical garden event weekend. The staff were very friendly and gave some advice about a local strawberry picking patch.
