David Ogden and his new wife, Jane Sturges Ogden, moved into a recently completed house in Fairfield in 1750. The house remained in the Ogden family for the next 125 years, surviving the burning of Fairfield by the British in 1779. The house later fell into bad repair, but in the 1930’s, it was restored by the architectural historian J. Frederick Kelly. Today, this saltbox colonial house is museum, operated by the Fairfield Museum and History Center and furnished according to information in David Ogden’s will and estate inventory.
