Museum Profile
Avery-Copp House Museum
The objects and artifacts within tell the story of life in this lovely Groton neighborhood from just after the Revolutionary, through the Victorian Era, the age of industrialization, mass immigration, the Great Depression, and the years of both World Wars. The museum is located on three acres of terraced grounds overlooking the river with beautiful gazebos and a Carriage House that now contains our archive storage facility.
Our current interpretation focuses on the early 20th century, especially the Irish immigrant domestic servants who worked here, and the changes in household technology that came with the introduction of electricity, plumbing, and the telephone.
