Butler-McCook Homestead
Butler-McCook Homestead, Colonial residence in Hartford, Connecticut.
The Butler-McCook Homestead features a two-and-a-half-story wooden structure with twin interior chimneys, five-bay facade, and a central entrance with round columns.
Built in 1782 for Dr. Daniel Butler, this residence remained in the family for 189 years before becoming a museum that documents Hartford's evolution from colonial times.
The interior displays an extensive collection of original furnishings, from Connecticut colonial furniture to Victorian-era items and Japanese samurai armor from family travels.
The homestead offers guided tours by reservation with different admission rates: $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and students, $5 for children aged 6-18.
The property includes a Victorian garden designed in 1865 by Jacob Weidenmann, the same landscape architect who created Hartford's Bushnell Park.
