Celebrate the birthday of Phineas Lounsbury on Thursday at The Lounsbury House!
Happy 178th Birthday, Phineas Lounsbury!
This Thursday, January 10th marks the 178th birthday for Connecticut’s 53rd Governor and the man after whom Lounsbury House is named. Born in 1841, Phineas grew up on a Ridgefield farm still operating today as ‘The Hickories.’ He was a successful banker and lifelong opponent of ‘strong drink,’ so it’s likely that his birthday celebrations were centered on family, cake and ‘two-step dancing,’ of which he was said to be a fan!
Please come by and say hello and bring a friend too! We’ll have birthday treats and tea from 11:00AM to 1:00PM – join us and find out more about Ridgefield’s beautiful 19th century estate!
Lounsbury House is located at 316 Main Street, Ridgefield. Questions? Please call (203) 438-6962 or visitwww.lounsburyhouse.org.
