The Stanton museum is an historic house of national importance. Having never left the Stanton family, the house retains its original furnishings and is a true time capsule in the way few such museums are. It’s also architecturally exceptional, notable for its large scale and the presence of an authentic 18th century general store. The museum boasts 11 fireplaces and one smoke oven.  It was granted nonprofit 501(c)(3) status in 1917.

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).

All donations, large and small, are greatly appreciated!!
