Built in 1740, this majestic National Historic landmark was the home of Oliver Ellsworth, a member of the Continental Congress, envoy to France after the Revolution, framer of the United States Constitution, third Chief Justice of the United States, and author of the Judiciary Act, which forms the basis for our present day federal judiciary system. Ellsworth and his wife, Abigail Wolcott, returned to live at the homestead in 1782, where they remained until his death in 1807. While living at the homestead, Ellsworth was visited by President George Washington in 1789, and by President John Adams in 1799. Today the Ellsworth Homestead serves as a museum operated by the Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution. Visitors touring the house will find many of Ellsworth's personal heirlooms, including a letter to him from George Washington and a square of Gobelin tapestry presented to him by Napoleon Bonaparte.
