President Jess Accetta would like to thank Pandemonium Thrift Shop and Rainforest Project of Deep River for their preservation and donation of an 1899-1901 tax ledger for the town of Clinton. Among other historic names, John A. Stanton was included on multiple reports and shows the early origins of the trust that protected the museum until the board of directors was formed. This beautiful treasure will be on display for the first time as a part of the museum’s collection during Tavern Night. A rare find you won’t want to miss, and thank you again to the incredible dedication to preservation and history from Pandemonium Thrift Shop and Rainforest Project.

The Adam Stanton House and General Store was built in 1791 by a wealthy, striving merchant-businessman whose entrepreneurial spirit and extraordinary taste can be seen in every aspect of this unique house museum. Filled with clothing, furnishings, documents, and store inventory all belonging to the original Stanton family, the house provides a glimpse into 18th and 19th century life in a privileged New England family home. In 1916, the house was left in trust by Adam Stanton's heirs to become a house museum. It has been open to the public ever since.  Adam Stanton House, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3).
