Boothe Memorial Park and Museum
Boothe Memorial Park and Museum sits on a site in the Putney section of Stratford, Connecticut. Built about 1840 and remodeled in 1914, it is said to be "The Oldest Homestead in America,"〔http://www.damnedct.com/boothe-memorial-park-stratford/〕 since it sits on the foundations of a 1663 house, and has been continuously occupied. Circa 1914 two brothers, David Beach Boothe and Stephen Nichols Boothe, created the Boothe Memorial Museum which maintains a collection of twenty architecturally unique buildings. Some of the structures include a carriage house, Americana Museum, miniature lighthouse, windmill, a clock tower museum, trolley station, chapel, and a blacksmith shop. The property became a public park owned by the town of Stratford in 1949.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/17/nyregion/friends-keep-watch-over-grand-collection.html〕
Boothe Memorial Park and Museum was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 1, 1985.
==Observatory==
The BMAS (Boothe Memorial Astronomical Society) Observatory was built in 1957 on the grounds of the park, located near the cemetery. The observatory features two telescopes: a 16-inch Cassegrain (1960) and 4 inch Unitron refractor.〔http://www.bmas.org/index.html〕〔http://www.bmas.org/history.html〕
The observatory is open for public observing at 8:00 p.m. on the first and third Friday of each month.
