Join the New Haven Preservation Trust for a walking tour of the exterior of four buildings — now all residences — from Donald Grant Mitchell’s farm in the Forest Road/Edgewood Way area of Westville. Learn more about Mitchell’s search for the perfect farm, his farm design and evolution, and his architectural designs and construction. In addition to the main homestead, the exterior of the tenant farmer’s house, the barn, and a transformed stable will be on view.
The tour will be led by Barbara Lamb and Aaron Helfand, AIA.
Numbers for this tour are limited and advance registration is required. Meeting place will be provided upon registration.
