The Stratford Historical Society has three buildings on site. The Captain David Judson House was built circa 1750 by Captain David Judson on the site of his great-grandfather's 1639 stone house. It is a fine example of Georgian architecture and is furnished with period pieces of Stratford origin. The Catharine Bunnell Mitchell Museum has exhibits of Stratford history. A extensive genealogy library is located in the office area of the museum and is open to the public. The Beach Family Carriage house was built around 1880-1885 by the Beach family who lived on Elm Street in Stratford. At the time it was built, it was used to house a horse and carriage on the ground floor and the upper level was used to store hay and grains.
