A few weeks ago, I was diverted by construction, and I ended up back in Old Wethersfield, Connecticut. Some of you may recall we spent several weeks here back in January and February. Wethersfield is one of two towns that claim to be Connecticut’s first town. Both Wethersfield and Windsor were settled in 1633. I missed these doors because these are on the outskirts of the district.
I only know some history of one of the buildings in the gallery. The Solomon Welles House was built in 1774 for a descendant of the colonial governor Thomas Welles. At one point, when there was a large state prison in Wethersfield, the warden lived in the Welles house. When the state prison was demolished in 1963 the former warden’s residence, was given to the town by the state and is now is available to town residents for meetings and social events.
I hope you enjoy the views of the Solomon Welles House and the other houses I found in this area. Also, please check out a few links to the doors from the other participants. Also, I am cat-sitting today, so I might be late getting around to some of your doors.

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
