Ebenezer Avery House Gardens
Ebenezer Avery House Gardens
The Ebenezer Avery House, built in 1750, stood for over two hundred years at the corner of Latham and Thames Streets in Groton, Connecticut. The house is the site where wounded soldiers were taken after the Battle of Groton Heights on September 6, 1781.
In 1971, the house was moved to Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park in Groton and restored by the Park and Forest Commission. The house was dismantled, board by board, and re-erected in its present position, accessible from Fort Street in Groton. The historic house museum is maintained by the Avery Memorial Association. Trillium Club members tend to the garden, which features herbs and perenials appropriate to the colonial period of America, six months a year.
