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.
