Captain Grant's

Poquetanuck, Connecticut

Captain Grant's is a bed & breakfast located in Poquetanuck.

CAPTAIN GRANT'S INN was originally built by Captain William Gonzales Grant in 1754 for his wife Mercy Adelaide Avery. Grant died at sea, while Mercy lived into her 80's and the home continued to house three generations of the Grant Family. During the Revolutionary War, soldiers used the home as a Garrison, and during the Civil War, the home protected runaway slaves. A major restoration took place from 1994 through 1996. Today, the Inn stands restored to its original grandeur and prominence in this national Historic Village.

CAPTAIN GRANT'S features wide-board hardwood floors, 253-year-old hand-hewn beams and an authentically rebuilt seven-foot-wide staircase. The original banister and balusters had been kept in oak barrels for over a hundred years until the restoration commenced. A three story deck, built on the home's east side, allows you to experience the rising sun while enjoying that morning cup of coffee.

THE HOME is on the National Register of Historic Places. It remains a stately beauty in this 1687 Village.

Experience the stone walls and walkways, lush greenery, and a glimpse of life in 1754.
