The Denison Homestead is the third succesive house to be built on the land granted to Captain George Denison in 1654 in the Town of Stonington’s half of Mystic (which is a census designated place.) Its immediate predecessor burned in a fire in 1717, the night before George Denison’s grandson, known as “George the Builder” was married. This grandson then built the current house, just west of the original home, using charred timers from the old house. The house, which became known as Pequotsepos Manor, continued to be the home of generations of the Denison family. In 1930, Ann Bodell Denison Gates created the Denison Society and after her death, in 1941, the house became the Denison Homestead Museum.
    Located on Pequotsepes Road in Mystic, the museum presents a different period of time history of the Denison family in each of its rooms.
