Old Stone House

The Old Stone House is a solid structure built from stone with thick walls and hand-crafted construction techniques from the 18th century. The building retains its original stonework and the traditional design characteristic of early colonial dwellings.

The house was built during the colonial era and represents one of the earliest examples of stone construction techniques in Fairfield County. The building methods show how construction practices developed in this region during that time.

The house shows how early settlers adapted European building traditions to materials available in their new surroundings. This adaptation reflects how people created home in an unfamiliar landscape.

The site is best visited during daylight hours when natural light shows the stone details clearly. Visitors should expect uneven surfaces and narrow doorways, which are typical of houses from this period.

The original stonework remains largely intact and offers rare insight into 18th-century craftsmanship and building methods. Researchers use the structure to understand the tools and techniques that early builders actually employed in the field.
