For our field trip this year we visited Boothe Memorial Park and Museum in Stratford.

Boothe Memorial Park and Museum sits on an idyllic, 32 acre site in the north end of Stratford high above the Housatonic River.  It was the estate of the Boothe family for many generations and willed to the town in 1949 for the public to enjoy.

The park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Friends of Boothe Park is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization formed in 1984 with the mission of providing information and preserving the heritage of the park and its museums, buildings and grounds.  Each year Friends contribute over 6,000 fun-filled hours conducting school programs and guided tours, maintaining gardens, grounds and buildings.
