Histoury-Historic Homes Tour: Colonial Wilton!
We are a tour company passionate about bringing history to life with engaging storytelling and expert insights. Each tour is designed to provide a deep dive into cultural, social and architectural significance of landmarks. On the bus tour, you will visit several historic home interiors and see and learn about many more buildings and their histories along the way!
Settlers arrived in Wilton in the 17th-century, with a written account of the area around 1640. From wilderness, to parish, to official town in 1802…Homes that were built by these founding Wilton families continue to beautify the landscape today, including great examples of the Saltbox, Georgian, and Federal styles.
Special interior tours include the David Platt House, considered one of the best preserved Federal houses in Wilton, and the Middlebrook - Morgan House from 1772 that includes the addition of a circa 1850's home moved from across town!
Join us to tour a great collection of these historic homes!
