Avery Memorial Association
The Avery Memorial Association was founded in 1895 after the burning of the old Avery Homestead and incorporated as a non-profit in 1896. The association designed and constructed a monument on the center of the site and dedicated it on the six year anniversary of the fire. The association holds a meeting and election every year. The Avery Memorial Association has undertaken two major projects, the first being the ''raison d'être'', the Avery Monument and the movement, restoration ad operation of the Ebenezer Avery House, a historic house museum. The Avery Monument was designed by Bela L. Pratt and it rises from the center of where the house originally stood. It was dedicated on July 20, 1900 and rededicated on its centennial. In 1971, the Avery Memorial Association moved the Ebenezer Avery House from its original location in Groton, Connecticut closer to the site of the Battle of Groton Heights, and it now resides in Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park in Groton, Connecticut.
== History ==
The Avery Association was founded in 1895 after the burning of the old Avery Homestead, nicknamed "The Hive" or "Avery Hive".〔 〔 The following year it was incorporated as a non-profit, charitable and educational institution.〔 The monument was dedicated on the sixth year anniversary and rededicated on its centennial.〔〔
The old Avery Homestead was built around 1656 and was improved upon by the second Captain James Avery who removed "the unadorned church and watch-tower of the wilderness" in 1684 and carried the materials back to the house and used them in its improvement.〔 The descendants of the Avery family lived in the house for over 230 years until it was destroyed on July 20, 1894 from a spark by a passing railroad. The Avery clan formed the foundation to memorialize the beginnings of the Avery Clan in the Connecticut Colony.〔
