The William Jillson Stone House, located at 561 Main Street inside Jillson Square Park in the Willimantic section of Windham, Connecticut, is a historic house museum. This location offers visitors a chance to step back in time and explore the history of the area through the lens of one of its early industrialists.

Historical Significance of the William Jillson Stone House

The William Jillson Stone House is maintained by the Windham Historical Society and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1971. This recognition underscores the historical significance of the house and its importance in the local community.

Local Significance of the William Jillson Stone House

The William Jillson Stone House is locally significant for two main reasons. Firstly, it is a rare example of a stone house in the area. Secondly, it was the home of William Jillson, a native of Cumberland, Rhode Island, who was one of the first people to purchase industrial water rights at the Willimantic Falls. This makes the house not only architecturally interesting, but also historically significant.
