Darling House Museum
Darling House Museum, Colonial house museum in Woodbridge, US.
Darling House Museum is a colonial residence in Woodbridge featuring a gambrel roof and detailed woodwork throughout its rooms. The interior spaces showcase high ceilings and wood paneling characteristic of late 18th-century New England architecture.
Built between 1772 and 1774, the residence belonged to the Darling family for nearly 200 years. Its construction reflects the wealth and status of the family during the late colonial and early American period.
The museum displays period clothing, quilts, and textiles that reveal how people dressed and worked in colonial times. These objects tell stories about family life, local crafts, and the rhythm of daily living in Connecticut.
The museum welcomes visitors by appointment or during special events coordinated by the Amity & Woodbridge Historical Society. Contacting ahead ensures you can plan your visit and experience the house in a guided setting.
One fireplace displays imported tiles featuring biblical scenes, showing how design influences from 18th-century New York reached Connecticut homes. This rare ornamental choice demonstrates the family's connection to broader trade networks of that era.
