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.
