Nehemiah Royce House

The Nehemiah Royce House is a colonial-era residence built in the saltbox style, recognizable by its long roof line that slopes down toward the back. Located on North Main Street in Wallingford, it stands as a registered historic property that visitors can tour.

The house was built during the early colonial period and stood among the first properties of Wallingford's settlement founded in 1670. The structure survived the centuries and was later recognized as a historic landmark.

The house displays the building methods and domestic life of early colonial families. The visible details like wooden frame construction and room layout tell the story of everyday life in the town's founding era.

The house can be toured with a guide or explored on your own to see the colonial construction methods and interior layout up close. It is best to visit during the scheduled opening hours and check ahead for current visiting conditions.

A prominent American leader visited the house twice, once before the war and again years later to greet the community. These visits connect the property to major events in American history.
