Review:

Captain Nathaniel Shaw started building Shaw Mansion in 1756. Twenty years later, Captain Shaw hosted General George Washington here. Soon after, Nathaniel Shaw, Jr became Naval Agent for Connecticut with the house turning into the naval headquarters for the state. The Shaw family owned the home for five generations. Lucretia Shaw Woodbridge, the builder’s great-granddaughter, inherited it in 1795 and it became Perkins house due to her marriage. Jane Perkins sold it to the New London County Historical Society in 1907. There are tours on Thursday afternoons or by appointment and you can also conduct research by with the New London County Historical Society by appointment.
