In and beyond Fairfield’s Historic Town Green, adjacent to the Fairfield Museum, are several fascinating historic properties.  Ogden House is owned by the museum, and the other historic properties are owned by the Town of Fairfield and managed by the museum for the benefit of the community.

	Ogden House (1520 Bronson Road)–This, the 18th Century saltbox contains period furnishings, in addition to a restored kitchen garden and woodland path.
	Bronson Windmill (2963 Bronson Road)–This 1893 structure, built to supply water to Frederic Bronson’s estate and farm, now the site of Fairfield Country Day School.
	The Burr Homestead (739 Old Post Road)–A hub of activity from its 18th Century origins to present day, this historic 10-room mansion also features a reflecting pool and “garden walk,” attracting visitors in all four seasons for community events, private parties and seasonal fundraisers.

	Sun Tavern (One Town Hall Green)–The 1780 tavern was the site of a much-celebrated visit from President George Washington. A restoration of the building is scheduled to be finished by the end of 2007.
	Powder House (230 Unquowa Road)–Tucked behind Tomlinson Middle School, this stone structure was built in 1814 to store ammunition in case of British attacks.
	Victorian Cottage and Barn (Two and Three Town Hall Green)–These two “Carpenter Gothic” structures served as a gardener’s quarters and tool storage. The cottage is planned to be transformed into staff offices and a fully-equipped classroom, while the barn will continue to house the museum’s collection of antique and modern tools.

These magnificent historic properties, with the exception of Ogden House and Gardens, are owned by the Town of Fairfield and managed by Fairfield Museum and History Center.
