  • Description Advance Ticket Sales are no longer available - Please purchase your tickets on Wadawanuck Square beginning at 10 am Saturday, October 17 Behind Stonington's Doors - Historic House Tour, held rain or shine! Step Inside History

    On Saturday, October 17, 2015 the Stonington Historical Society invites you to "the most beautiful seaside village in New England" for a unique opportunity to step inside some of our most beautiful homes. A walking tour of distinctive and architecturally significant homes will carry you across centuries. The owners of these diverse properties will open their doors for you to experience Stonington from the inside out. We have carefully chosen homes that will showcase the rich and diverse architectural history of Stonington. Stoningon's history covers more than 350 years spanning from the town's founding in 1649 to the settlement of Stonington Borough in the mid 18th century all the way through today. We are a historically diverse community with many tales to tell. The Society's mission, "To preserve, interpret, and celebrate the history of Stonington" includes educational outreach, monthly programs on local and national history, the preservation of artifacts and documents in our collections, three museums: the Old Lighthouse Museum, the Captain Nathaniel B. Palmer House, the Richard W. Woolworth Library and Research Center, and two other historic properties in Stonington Borough. All proceeds will support these programs and efforts.

    The day of the tour you will receive a guidebook that includes a map indicating the location of homes and short descriptions of significant features and interesting histories. Your ticket also includes admission to the Society's museums that day.

    Saturday Tour Tickets Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the gate.

    Tickets for Saturday's house tour will no longer be online after Friday at 10pm. Please purchase the Saturday tickets at the booth on Wadawanuck Square on Saturday starring at 10am.
