The Johnson Mansion

Built in 1866, this stately Victorian mansion will be restored to become the home of The American Silver Museum collection.

At the museum, visitors will learn about the growth of America's silver industry, which played a major role in the economy of nineteenth century Wallingford. Skilled craftsman will demonstrate silverware manufacturing techniques, while reenactors portraying members of the Johnson household will conduct tours of the property and explain the importance of silverware in a Victorian household.

Before the Johnson Mansion was donated to the Trust, its most recent use was as an office building. Today, while it is awaiting restoration, it is often used as the site for Trust fund-raising events.
