Bellamy-Ferriday House & Garden

I went in the spring to see the lilacs, and I loved them. There are a few lilac bushes scattered here and there throughout the grounds. The tour of the house and the work of Eliza and her family is what impressed me most though. This is well worth the visit.

Lovely home and gardens and I can't wait to meet and greet with the author of The Lilac Girls this summer! If you get a chance to go to a Book signing here with fabulous author of The Lilac Girls, Martha Hall Kelly... you will have the best time! Martha is so open and friendly and shares so much about Caroline Ferriday's life... the home tour is wonderful! One of my most favorite places to visit in CT!

I first learned about this historic house from the book The Lost Rose's by Martha Hall Kelly. It has such a rich history from its early days as a theological seminary and farm to a grand Victorian estate. I loved watching the book and it's characters come to life as I walked through the house Eliza and Caroline Ferriday lived in. The gardens are gorgeous and the smell of spring in the air was wonderful.

Connor was a great guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about history. The house is a lovely way to spend an hour or two.

A great historical place to visit with great tour guides

Really interesting, the staff are incredibly nice. I would totally go again. The house tour has so much interesting information that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise. It’s good for anyone. 5 out of 5 stars.

Such a wonderful and hugely informative tour. Definitely recommended and the gardens and grounds were such a huge bonus.

Excellent tour and gracious guides learned a lot about the history of the fascinating house

I(@phoebe_c_photography) had the opportunity to rent out the grounds for a styled shoot this weekend and it was the perfect backdrop for my photoshoot. The staff was easy to talk to and plan with. I'm so greatful they could accommodate me for a last minute booking!

I plan on getting back to Bethlehem soon for a tour of the house, but the property/garden area alone is worth the visit for anyone with an eye for beauty!

Loved it, the tour, everything. Beautiful house and it was a great experience to see the home in person after reading Lilac Girls. Our tour guide Niki did a great job.

Great tour! Amazing guide.

Stopped in on a whim, and so glad we did. Our tour guide Dorothy was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the home and all its prior residents. A must see.

Went to the Raptor show hosted by the Land Trust. Had fun and learned things. Bethany from Sharon Audubon was a wealth of knowledge.

My wife and I had a very nice visit to the property. A beautiful part of New England, don't forget to visit the gift shop. Bring a lunch; sit in the gardens, nice and restful.

We took our mother for Mothers Day and had a blast! Reasonable prices and educational

Great tour. Loved seeing the gardens. Brings the stories to life. Learned so much more history.

Beautiful home and gardens! Worth a visit!

Beautiful place to spend the day walking the gardens. pack a lunch and have a picnic on the lawns or one of the picnic tables they have set up.

Excellent house tour and our guide was very knowledgeable on the history on all who lived there.
