The History of the Lyman Homestead
David Lyman II, just before 1860, enlarged the original family homestead built by his grandfather, David, in 1785. He moved the original building (by oxen) to another Middlefield site and commissioned an architect, Rufus Russell of New Haven, to create the main block of the house in 1863. Since then the Homestead has been home to generations of the Lyman Family, until 2000 when it was made available for hosting special events. A well known landmark in Middlesex County, the Homestead is included in the National Registry of Historic Places.
