Christopher Leffingwell House
Historic Museum
Welcome to the Leffingwell House Museum, one of the finest restored examples of New England Colonial architecture and home of revolutionary patriot, merchant, and industrialist Christopher Leffingwell.
Visitors to this living museum catch a glimpse of early 18th century life. By the mid 18th century what was built as a simple two room house in 1675 had evolved into an elegant home for one of Connecticut's most famous patriots. The house is filled with a fascinating assortment of pieces from each generation.
To supplement the collection, items such as a canopy bed, silver, and a pewter communion set, have been lent by the Wadsworth Athenaeum and other American institutions.

The Society of the Founders of Norwich, Connecticut are pleased to announce that the The David Greenleaf House project has received a Connecticut Commission on Culture & Tourism Matching Grant
The David Greenleaf House is located adjacent to the museum. The matching grant is solely for the physical improvements to the first floor and basement area.

The property will also provide space for additional bus and car parking areas. The build-out of the top floor is also in progress.
