The Boothe home was built in the 1820s. In the 1900s two brothers, David Beach Boothe and Stephen Nichols Boothe, created the Boothe Memorial Museum which maintains a collection of buildings on this 32 acre site. Some of the structures include a carriage house, Americana Museum, miniature lighthouse and windmill, a clocktower museum, trolley
station, chapel, blacksmith shop, and a variety of other interesting buildings.
The estate was willed to the town of Stratford following the death of the Boothe brothers. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
