Colonial Homes Tour: Westport & Weston, May 3

0:00History is rolling out special one-day tours to mark America's 250th birthday next year. These trips give rare peaks inside privately owned colonial era homes, something the public almost never sees. Rodders get guided access from a comfy charter bus with stops at key historic spots. The tours happen on three dates, May 2, May 3, and May 30. Each day offers two star times, 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. The May 3 outing covers Westport and Weston, focusing on farmhouses, Georgian and federal styles, plus cake-cod designs, guides with expertise in preservation, architecture, and local history lead the way. Expect talks on the buildings, the people who live there, and big events that shape the areas. Photo previews of some interiors build the excitement ahead of time. On May 30, the route hits Avon and Simsbury, highlighting salt box homes alongside more farmhouses, Georgian and federal gems. Highlights include the 1690 Amos Curtis Salt Box in the Circus 1735 Joseph Mills House.
