This historic home was built in 1675 and converted to an inn in 1700 by Thomas Leffingwell. Because Christopher Leffingwell was a financier of the American Revolution and a member of the Committee of Correspondence, Continental officers, including George Washington, often stopped here. The restored building is furnished with 17th and 18th century pieces and displays a collection of Norwich silver. Open 1 to 4 pm on Friday thru Sunday in May through October. Open by appointment the rest of the year.
