The Thomas Griswold House is a classic New England saltbox dwelling standing along a picturesque stretch of the old Post Road. Thomas Griswold III built the house for two of his sons, John and Ezra, circa 1774, on land that had been in the Griswold family since Thomas Griswold II moved from Wethersfield in 1695. The house was purchased by the Guilford Keeping Society in 1958. The house is restored and furnished in the style of the early 19th century, representing the period of George and Nancy Griswold’s occupancy. One room is dedicated to temporary exhibits of items from the society’s collection.
