It is a smaller event space, but it could be a great place to have a small wedding, meeting, or party. The fireplace and rustic feel make it so warm and welcoming.

We hosted our wedding welcome party at Silver Oak in July, 2019 and were thrilled with how…read moreeverything turned out. Maggie, Hannah and Tim were all a delight to work with and were super helpful throughout the process. We loved the vibe of Silver Oak - it is comfortable, yet sophisticated. The beer and wine on top were high quality and we enjoyed that some of the beers were local. I really liked the set up - there are separate areas (couches by the fireplace, dining tables for eating, bar area and outdoor patio) and people could move around easily to socialize. We also hired Luigi's pizza (recommended by Silver Oak) and enjoyed delicious food all night. Everything about the night turned out perfectly and we were thrilled with our event. We highly recommend this spot - it is a hidden gem.

We were 3/4 way through our first floor tour when another party arrived. Instead of adding them to the tour, and then covering what they missed, she asked them to wait. The living room is beautiful. Plaster work, beautifully hand painted walls (by a modern artist), elegant furnishings. Photos of the home pre-restoration are showed and discussed in this room. So much work has been done! There are also photos of the family and you learn a bit about them here. We also had the opportunity to ask questions about the home and family. Through this Q&A we discovered in what types of 'shipping' the family were involved. The dining room table displays a variety of period china. The fireplaces on this floor are marble. The dining room light fixture is very interesting, and although not original fits very well and makes a statement. Sadly, the kitchen is not restored for guests to view. There is however a butlers pantry in the dining room displaying more serve ware. An Antarctic research station is named after Captain Palmer and a live feed is shown in the next room as well as several ship models including the one Capt. Palmer was on when he discovered the continent. Information on the gentleman who created these models is also presented. There is a variety of information in this room about Capt. Palmers Antarctic discovery and one of his shipping trades: seal pelts. The short hallway between dining room and this include other items of trade such as Palmer tea and jade. The upper floors are self toured and there are three of them. Stair cases narrow as you ascend. The highest point is a small cupola surrounded by windows with a small bench seat that fits about three. There was a nice breeze with the windows open and long views. The two floors between include bedrooms, 'toilet' rooms, children's play room, fire alarm display, sewing room, office space and storage. Plenty of old furnishings, linens, toys etc. I particularly love the sewing box. Beautiful, intricate work. The price for the two locations is very reasonable and if you have time, are looking for an air conditioned space, love history/architecture/home décor, then this is going to be a nice stop. Free parking is available at the side of the house. Enter at the grand front door. A gift shop is located just inside to the left of the entrance. A restored ice house, storage and out houses are behind the home. I saw no public facilities (but didn't ask). There is a fair amount of land with the home including a small pathway with bench seating along the water on the other side of parking. In July there were plenty of mosquitos. Picnic tables are located behind the research library next to parking. Tickets may be purchased on line through their website as well as at the Stonington light house museum. Stonington residents and historical society member admission is free. Military, senior and first responder discounts are available. July and August the museum is open daily 10am - 4pm. The rest of the year hours are limited - check the website for information.

He was credited with discovering Antarctica (whilst hunting for seals) in 1820 at the young age of 21 with a minimal crew. He grew rich and built a stately home in his birthplace of Stonington, CT. After his brothers wife died, Nathaniel and his wife (who were childless) shared the home with his widowed brother and his 4 children. It was great to learn the history of this family and home, feeling transported to another time and imaging what it must have been like. I want to know more. Beautiful furnishings, interesting history and a beautiful setting. Parking is free and plentiful and the grounds are serene and quiet. A great way to spend an hour or so in this quaint town.

Technically can walk to the aquarium and village, however you're really better off by car. Traffic around here and pedestrian walk signs are not forgiving, and there is plenty of parking.

We sat down and talked about everything my husband and I dreamed about for the reception - and Chris and the SHYC made it all come true. It's a beautiful space. The fireplace was lit, we had a gelato sundae bar set up in the library, and all the rooms were open so our guests had plenty of room. We got to enjoy a sunset over the water through the windows that span the entire length of the club. I am still getting tons of compliments about the food. Chris worked with us to set up stations with made to order steak, pasta, veggies, and bacon scallops that were TO DIE FOR! All of the servers, bartenders, everyone involved was so kind, helpful and in a celebratory mood. It was absolutely perfect and VERY reasonable!! We felt like it was an incredible value for the experience. I can't rave enough. Thank you so much Chris and SHYC!!
