Over the years, the family grew. Thomas & Ruth's children and grandchildren lived in the house for the next 100 years. This house has only ever been the Ruggles' home or the museum.

Time was not always kind to the Ruggles House. Mary Ruggles Chandler and others who saw it as a treasure worked long hard to preserve and restore it.    

The Current Society

Mary Ruggles Chandler

Today, the Ruggles House Society maintains the house and the collections. With the exception of 2020, the house has been open to guests every summer since 1950. 

Plans for the Future

Preservation is never "done" . The Society continues to add items to our collection and enhance the guest's experience. Our current goal is to replace one of the original barns.

Annual Events

Christmas Tea

Join us for tea, homemade goodies and good cheer Sunday December 8 from 1-3. The house will be decorated in period style and there will be unique items in our gift shop.
