Summary:
The Ebenezer Avery house, built about 1750, is now a restored home that the Avery Memorial Association Inc. moved a quarter of a mile up the hill to the fort infamous for the massacre at Fort Griswold. The house and its gardens serve as a memorial to Rev. Oliver Perry Avery and his wife, Emma Dickinson Avery, and the home that once housed 40 badly wounded Revolutionary defenders, the owner among them. Averys from coast to coast have contributed heirloom furnishings to restore the house as it might have been when Ensign Ebenezer, an American patriot, was in residence.
