Henry Whitfield State Museum

Explore the complex history of nearly four centuries through the evolution of the Henry Whitfield House. The museum is in the process of changing its interpretation – confronting the facts about the site's history to acknowledge past injustice, recognizing how that injustice manifests in society today, and working toward an equitable future for all people.

The museum features:

Whitfield House - Three floors filled with furnishings and artifacts, the introductory exhibit The Old Stone House detailing the house's history, and a variety of scavenger hunt activity sheets.

Visitor Center - Museum gift shop, exhibit galleries, research library (available by appointment), travel information, and restrooms.

Education Building - History displays and hands-on activities in the repurposed 1870s barn.

Grounds - Sprawling lawns, extensive stone walls, mature trees, a bronze statue representing Henry Whitfield, a ship's cannon from the War of 1812, and a spur of the New England Trail that runs from Long Island Sound in Guilford through New Hampshire.
