Osborne Homestead Museum |
DERBY - Travel back in time and explore the transformation and expansion of a modest 1800s farmhouse into an elegant 20th century Colonial Revival style home.
Learn about Frances Osborne Kellogg’s profound attention to detail, the architectural career of her husband Waldo Kellogg, and his design influences in the home at 500 Hawthorne Ave.
The Osborne Homestead Museum will be participating in the 18th annual Connecticut Open House Day—a state-wide celebration of art, history, and tourism—June 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. During this one-day event, the museum will offer its ever-popular architecture tours.
Located adjacent to the Museum, the Kellogg Environmental Center will also provide a program for families about the diversity and design of bird nests.
Using its collection of nests, naturalists will help guests understand construction types, structure, and material selection related to the needs of the birds that made them. The program takes place at 11 a.m. in the Center’s classrooms and the display of nests will be available throughout the day and weekend.
Additional activities highlighting animal architects will be provided to enjoy at one’s leisure that day.
Whether a home improvement Do-It-Yourselfer looking for inspiration or a romantic about Romanesque Revival style come to the Osborne Homestead Museum and learn about this Colonial Revival style home.
Connecticut Open House Day is sponsored by the Connecticut Office of Tourism and is designed to broaden awareness of Connecticut’s exceptional art, culture, and history.
This special day encourages residents to become ambassadors who share their newfound discoveries with visiting family and friends.
The Osborne Homestead Museum is a facility of the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s State Parks & Public Outreach Division. The Kellogg Environmental Center is a facility of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s State Parks & Public Outreach Division. Both are located at 500 Hawthorne Ave.

This survey is anonymous and confidential. Please be as honest as possible. There are no right or wrong answers.
