he Keeler Tavern Museum has been a farmhouse, tavern, stagecoach stop, post office, hotel for travelers, home of noted architect Cass Gilbert and, since 1966, a museum. Now decorated with period furnishings, and changing exhibits from the Museum's collections, its past comes alive as costumed guides lead tours through room settings that portray life in rural Connecticut from the early 18th century to the mid 20th century. As part of your tour you will be shown the Museum's famous cannonball lodged in an outer wall in 1777.

The classic Cass Gilbert Garden House built in 1915 for his wife, Julia, overlooks a brick walled garden with reflecting pool and rose arbors. Its 25' x 50' space, an available banquet facility, is suitable for up to 100 guests. It provides an ideal location for weddings, cocktail parties, concerts, business meetings, lectures and other ocassions.
