Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very interesting tour, given by an experienced and knowledgeable guide/docent. The homes are well maintained, the historical and contemporary furniture and other pieces tell a great story of life in Old Wethersfield.
Very inexpensive ($10/person), I recommend this to anyone interested in early American history and/or genealogy.

The tour is very interesting. Kim was our guide and she was enthusiastic and thorough.You see homes with authentic antique furnishings. We thought the Nutting exhibit was not very interesting.

I don't understand why they charge so much for a museum, yeah it is nice they are reconstructed and kept the way they were originally but there isn't that much in these houses that is worth the 8 dollars a person.

Unimpressed. Paid $8 a person - but was placed in a tour that was near completion and subsequently not allowed to look in the 3 rooms that were part of the exhibit.

We had a great guided tour through the three Webb Deane Stevens houses. Wonderful historic insights were discussed during the tours with information about the various inhabitants, guests and former owners. The historic importance is significant in that decisions were made that lead to the British surrender at Yorktown. These are original 18th century houses with period decor and furnishings that are very lovely. It's a terrific visit. There are several good restaurants in town nearby and a public parking lot across the street from the museums.

We came for the candlelight tour as an outing for my husband's birthday in December. Wonderful treats to eat, each house was beautifully decorated and the docents were enthusiastic! And their LED flickering candles were wonderful!

Over the river and through some woods to the Webb Deane Stevens Museum decked out for the holidays. They are exhibiting the houses decorated as they would have been over three different centuries so not only did we learn about local historical dignitaries but we got a glimpse into holidays of times past. Our tour guide, Howard, was awesome. He had lots of information to share and his interest and enthusiasm for the museums was so evident in his presentation. For anyone who likes colonial history, this is a must see. Located in downtown Olde Wethersfield, you can explore the rest of the area easily on foot which includes other historic homes, shops and restaurants.

I always bring out-of-town guests to Old Wethersfield. The Webb/Deane/Stevens Houses and Museum is particularly impressive over Memorial Day Weekend when there is a Revolutionary War Encampment of soldiers on the grounds and walking along Main Street in front of one of the houses. History buffs will enjoy an afternoon in Old Wethersfield. Plan a visit on an Autumn Day to enjoy history and color.

On Memorial Weekend their is a Revoluntary War Soldiers Encampment on the grounds of the museum. It is an awesome sight to see one or two soldiers walking down Old Wethersfield in front of one of these houses. The museum is interesting to visit and get a sense of history 200 years later. Worth a trip for history buffs.
