While out and about Branford this week, I discovered a fantastic antique sketch that derailed my plans for this week's column. When I saw it, I knew I had to take some photos and quiz my history readers on the significance of the home in the picture!
The sketch, drawn in 1865 for Rev. Palmer G. Wightman of Branford, is of a Connecticut home built in 1725. Here is your quiz: whose home is it, and what is their relationship to Palmer Wightman? In addition, what is Palmer Wightman's significance to Branford?
Let's see if I can stump you all! I know there's at least one Branford Patch blogger who should know these answers off the top of his head...
