The Keeney Homestead is a colonial saltbox house located at 1026 Forbes Street in East Hartford. Associated with the Keeney family, the house was built around 1750-1780 and was possibly moved to its current address c 1805 from an unknown original location. After a fire damaged the house in the 1940s, it was restored with the interior of an eighteenth-century house from Glastonbury.
Keeney Homestead (1750)
I saw in a book in the library that this favorite house of mine the Keeney House , was haunted, and since I saw a man in the window in period clothing, in the upper widow above the door on the right, I knew that the book is right, it is haunted, there’s a tunnel running under the property as well.
I love history of all kinds, I grew up around this home, this house is on my mind also because the name Keeney seems to be connected to my family
My husband and I currently own this home. It is quite fun finding history in your home. I can’t say it’s haunted, but I can say that unfortunately/fortunately there is no tunnel that we have found. I’d love to hear more stories and/or rumors of the house!
Howdy, Mrs. Sansone. I live off of Brewer st. We love what you’ve done with the place!
I knew Lucille & John Bailey who lived here in the 60s 70s 80s.
They had beautiful period furnishings.
Lucille’s stationery had a sketch of this amazing home on the envelope.
Their dog was an Airedale and they were the most fun loving couple ever!
