Built sometime in the period 1700-1722, the Huntington Homestead in Scotland was the birthplace and childhood home of Samuel Huntington, who went on to become a Signer of the Declaration of Independence, President of the Continental Congress from 1779 to 1781 and Governor of Connecticut. Huntington later lived in a house in Norwich. The Homestead was later owned by the Kimball family, who sold it to the Town of Scotland in 1994. The house was then acquired by The Governor Samuel Huntington Trust to be opened as a museum.

Huntington Homestead (1700)
I just love historical houses from the 1700! Things where built so simple.
I am so happy to see a piece of my family history. What a treasure! I hope to one day come out there and visit this beautiful home where my ancestors lived. Thank you to Samuel for saving this wonderful house.
I wish there were more houses like these around
i mean i need more facts about how it was built and what materials its made out of. also yo.
I remember as a kid my Grandfather delivered meals on wheels to old Mrs Kimball. If I am remembering correctly I was somewhere between 7 and 11 years old lol
Sarah Huntington was my 7th great grandmother. She married a Wright and had a son who is my 6th great grandfather. But I don’t know the name of my 7th great grandfather and I would love to add him to my tree. Does anyone have any insight?
