The Noah Webster House, located in West Hartford, Connecticut, is a historic home that was once the residence of the famous American lexicographer and writer, Noah Webster. The property was built in 1782 and was initially owned by Webster's parents, but later became the family home of Noah Webster himself. The house is a classic example of an 18th-century New England home, with its traditional red brick exterior and white wood detailing.

Today, the Noah Webster House serves as a museum and cultural center, dedicated to preserving the life and legacy of Noah Webster. Visitors can explore the beautifully restored home and learn about Webster's many accomplishments, including his creation of the first American dictionary, which helped to standardize American English and establish a unique American identity.

The museum also offers a range of educational programs and events, including guided tours, historical reenactments, and hands-on activities for children. The Noah Webster House is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in American history, linguistics, and culture, and is a proud symbol of the rich heritage of West Hartford and the wider United States.
