If you haven’t seen the new Andrews you’re not going to want to miss it. Step through time on this immersive historic home tour, where each room reveals a different era in Meriden’s past—from the lives of Native peoples before European settlement to the transformation of the homefront in the post-World War II years. As you move from one space to the next, discover how women and children shaped and experienced daily life in each period, from early farming and industry to the rise of the silver trade and wartime sacrifice. Rooted in Meriden’s unique local history, the tour highlights everything from 18th-century hearthside chores to 20th-century life, offering a vivid, room-by-room journey through the evolving story of home and community. The guided tour, Wampum to War Bonds, starts promptly at 11:30 and 1:30. Seats are reserved and limited in number to enable our visitors to see and hear easily. The Homestead is NOT handicapped accessible. Click below to reserve your space. https://www.zeffy.com/ticketing/wampum-to-war-bonds-the-story-of-meriden
