Originally built in the town of Bedford, Massachusetts in 1682 and moved to Main Street in Glastonbury in 1974. The Bedford Mass. House’s large central chimney and leaded casement windows are reconstructions of common features of post-medieval English houses (other examples include the Hyland, Stanley-Whitman, and Buttolph-Williams Houses).

    I viewed this house when it was on the market 15 or 20 years ago, and there’s one interesting bit of trivia to add: it’s Benedict Arnold’s boyhood home.

    The property also has a tiny 2-story colonial era tavern on the property, although I don’t remember where that was moved in from.

    Don’t think so. Benedict Arnold grew up in Norwich city in the American colony of Connecticut. He then lived in New Haven before moving to PA
