Bosworth, Benjamin, House - Eastford CT - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Left from Phoenixville on State 91, to Eastford Center 1.7 M, a small collection of houses on open land, extending westward toward a small hill. Visible about 0.1m up a side road (L) is the Castle, built in 1800 by Squire Bosworth. A monitor-shaped, upper structure on the flat-topped roof was used as a former Masonic meeting-place. Within, the benches are still in place, ranged along the fireplaces at either end. One man is reported to have worked an entire winter on the woodwork in this one room
