Step back in time and discover what life was like in Colonial times at the 1750 Ogden House, located at 1520 Bronson Road in Fairfield.

Spend four days learning and playing at the Ogden House, a Fairfield Saltbox home dating back to 1750, and spend the final day on the historic Town Green exploring a 19th century schoolhouse and Victorian-era barn.
