The new year opens another exciting chapter in the Council's efforts to preserve The Old House. With additional support just received from the Reichert Family Foundation, we look forward to finishing the exterior restoration and upgrades for barrier free access that was generously funded by the Gardiner Foundation in 2018. The oak clapboard that has failed on the south (front) facade will be replaced with new material, while the sides and back will be cleaned and rejuvenated. [ 55 more words ]

Restored staircase gets a facelift with new skirt boards, treads, risers, newel post, handrails and balusters.

120 Years as a Museum: Arriving by Auto, 1899-1909
During the first decade of the museum, visitors arrived on foot, bicycles, by horse and carriage, and via train. The automobile was in its infancy.
According to local sources, the first automobile registered in Guilford was a 1902 Oldsmobile R roundabout. It is not known if that car visited the new museum in the early 1900s but it was on hand in 2004 when the centennial of the formal opening of the museum was celebrated.
The Oldsmobile R was produced from 1901 to 1907, had a one cylinder, 4 horsepower, gasoline engine, and had a top speed of 20 miles per hour. Only 425 were built the first year but 19,000 eventually rolled off the assembly line. The model also featured a tiller and oil lamps.
Each month in 2019, we will be highlighting the 120th Anniversary of the museum with special postings. (In June 1899, the Henry Whitfield House in Guilford was designated the State Historical Museum by the Connecticut Legislature).

Historic Origin of 'Chairman of the Board' Going back to the Middle Ages (1150-1550), the dining table was constructed in two parts for easy disassembling, making room for other activities in the main hall: 1. the top from the Latin Tabula (board), and 2. the supporting base. So at meals, the head of the house sat in an ornamented chair at the 'tabula', while everyone else sat on stools or benches. Chairman of the board is derived from the medieval practice of acknowledging the status of the head of the household who was seated at the only chair at the board.
Our chair is delivered!
Exciting progress on the new Village Garage Exhibit. Thanks GT Joe
