Noah Webster grew up in Hartford, and his contribution to American history is immeasurable. His surname graced the first dictionary, and his authorship of the first American edition of the dictionary is just one of the many fascinating aspects of visiting his historic home. Guides dressed in period clothes will not only tell you of Webster's life, but you can also experience that life for the length of your visit as flax breaking and wool carding are just a couple of the hands-on activities and attractions you can experience. You'll also see the original china, glassware and desk that Webster himself used. The whole visit is beyond words!
