About the Home

Woodruff Homestead is a treasured piece of early Connecticut history, lovingly restored to honor its original 18th-century character while offering today’s comforts. Built in the 1700s by the Woodruff family, one of Farmington’s founding lineages, the home has been carefully preserved with wide plank floors, hand-hewn beams, original fireplaces, and period woodwork intact. Each room tells a story of life in Colonial New England, yet the interiors have been thoughtfully designed to blend historic authenticity with timeless comfort. Antique furnishings, curated artwork, and layered textures create a warm, inviting atmosphere, making the house both a museum of heritage and a place to truly live in.
