My daughter's link with early colonial history

Ok, I admit I am biased when I write this review. My daughter is a descendant of Captain David Judson, although I am not. Our travel plans brought us through the area, and when I learned from my mother-in-law (who was born a Judson) about this house, we had to stop. I am so glad we did! We had the most delightful guide. She explained every detail about the house and tailored the visit to my daughter and specifically how it all related to the time in which the house was occupied by her ancestors. There is so much history in this house and it offers a glimpse about the way of life all our ancestors experienced. Our guide was able to convey many of the differences between that time and our own. I definitely recommend a stop at the Judson House.

    Very informative tour of a 18thc house and what life was like during that time. The house has a large collection of furniture, clocks,weaving and spinning artifacts along with everyday items used by occupants during this time period. The attached museum holds civil war articles, native american objects and artifacts from the founding of Stratford into it's early years. There are exhibits devoted to slavery, the american revolution, carved decoys and early toys. Something for everyone and very interesting.

    Judson House is part of Stratford's Historic District. It's a museum with house tours depicting life in the 1700's. The house is full of period items on two floors, including a working loom. The museum hours are limited and mostly in the warm weather months.
