Lavender Path Antiques
and Books
Located in a 1783 Schoolhouse

Originally called "The Academy"  our historic
building has also been a church, townhall   private
theater and home to our antique and used
bookstore for fifteen  years.   Surrounded  by cut
and faced stonewalls and shaded by 200 year old
maple trees, the setting would have inspired  
Robert Frost. The  original belltower still sits on
the roof. Alas the bell is missing, but that's
another story. Located in the Historic District of
the Village of Harwinton, Connecticut and  listed
on The National Register of Historic Sites. We
have a perfect site for antiques and books.  Come
browse in our shop and enjoy  a piece of history.
