The Oliver Ellsworth Homestead, also known as Elmwood, is a Georgian-style house built in 1781 in Windsor, Connecticut, and now operated as a museum by the Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution. The home belonged to Oliver Ellsworth, a Founding Father who helped draft the United States Constitution, served as the third Chief Justice of the United States, and represented Connecticut as a senator until his death in 1807. Designated a National Historic Landmark in recognition of this association, the house remains open for tours by request, preserving the residence of one of early America's most influential legal and political figures.
