Eells-Stow House, Milford Historical Society

built c. 1685

Biography

The Eells-Stow house was built by Samuel Eells [1640-1709], who moved from Massachusetts to Milford, Connecticut after his marriage in 1663 to Anna Lenthall. Eells family historians have suggested that Eells' move to Milford was related to the presence there of the exiled regicides Edward Whalley and William Goff and believe that Eells was in some way involved in their protection. The house was founded as a museum in 1930. From 1949 to 1954, the house owned a portrait of Samuel Eells now in the NGA.
