    The Isham-Terry House in Hartford offers visitors a glimpse into late 19th-century Victorian life. This historic home, maintained by Connecticut Landmarks, showcases well-preserved period furnishings and architecture. Visitors appreciate the authenticity of the house and its contents, which have remained largely unchanged since the early 1900s.
