Captain Grant's 1754

Poquetanuck Village, Connecticut.

Captain Grant's is a National Historic Inn located in a 1687 Colonial Village. We were featured on HGTV in 2002 and USA today in 2003. Our canopy beds and fireplaces are elegant and affordable. Let where you stay be as memorable as the places you visit.

Bed and Breakfast Description

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, 245-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.

Each Guest Room features a full private bath, color cable television, air conditioning and complimentary sherry. Rooms may also feature canopy beds, fireplaces, and authentic open-beamed ceilings. In the evening, enjoy a glass of wine "compliments of Captain Grant's". After a wonderful night's sleep, you'll be greeted with a full country breakfast with coffee
