Food scene

This is a one of a kind, iconic restaurant where the food is mostly cooked outside. Guests sit outdoors on stump stools and a table also created out of a stump. You are welcome to bring any additional food and It is BYOB. Definitely a unique and fun experience.

The Henry Whitfield House is a historic house located in Guilford, Connecticut, down the street from the town green.[3] This house dates from 1639, having been built just before the town of Guilford was settled. It is the oldest house in Connecticut and the oldest stone house in New England. The house, with its massive stone walls, also served as a fort to protect the community.[4] Henry Whitfield, for whom the house was built, was a Puritan minister who had come from England to flee religious persecution.[5] The house was remodeled in 1868 and opened to the public in 1899 as the first museum of the State of Connecticut, the Henry Whitfield State Museum. The house was restored in 1902–04 and in the 1930s and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1997.[2] It was named a State Archeological Preserve in 2006 - Wikipedia

Cranbrook Tower is a cylindrical stone tower built in 1869 to supply water to the Chittenden estate at 1 Broad Street. The windmill was removed in 1927 after the town established its water system in 1915. In World War II and 1955, the tower served as an aircraft observation post and was manned day and night by civic “spotters.” Referenced by: Brown McCulloch, Sarah (2006) “Guilford: A Walking Guide, the Green & Neighboring Streets.” revised, with editorial notes from 2012.
