An authentic Connecticut historic home in one of the oldest inland towns in Connecticut, Woodbury. The house is beautifully preserved and doesn't 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.

We came after hours just to enjoy the surroundings. Garden and lawn were summer perfect. The structures look to be in maintenance emergency; tarps nailed with strips to the roofing, wood in need of paint or replacement. 2024 has been a very rainy and humid year, and it shows here. One tree pictured here might be as old as the house. Amazing.

I visited the gardens it was 9/21/23 so I wasn’t expecting much. I was actually surprised to see a few flowers. They apologized, because apparently the Garden’s were under construction. The house is only open on Fri Sat Sun. I’m sure the gardens are lovely in the spring and summer.

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.

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