Henry Whitfield State Museum

Guilford, Connecticut

The Henry Whitfield House is a historic house located in Guilford, Connecticut, one-half mile south of the town green. Construction began in 1639, when a group of English Puritans, including Reverend Henry Whitfield and his family, entered into an agreement with the Menunkatuck band of the Quinnipiac tribe and renamed the area Guilford.
