Located in the center of one of Connecticut's oldest historic districts, the Webb Deane Stevens Museum’s three historic houses tell stories of national and statewide significance. The Joseph Webb House served as George Washington’s headquarters in May 1781 and is where he met with French commander the Comte de Rochambeau to plan the joint military campaign that led to the victory at Yorktown and the end of the American Revolution. The Deane House was the built by Silas Deane, our nation’s first diplomat whose efforts in Paris led France to become the first country to recognize the United States as an independent nation. The Isaac Stevens House, owned and lived in by the Stevens family for 170 years, provides a remarkable portrait of the lives of a successful mercantile Connecticut River Valley family.
