The Bates-Scofield house is a classic New England saltbox, built circa 1736 and named for the Bates family, who built and owned the original farmhouse, and the Scofields, who later occupied it. Constructed around a massive central chimney with a huge fireplace and beehive oven, the house features eighteenth and early nineteenth century regional furniture. It was restored by the Darien Historical Society in 1964.
