About Branford House

Built in the 19th century and modeled after the famed Newport mansions, Branford House at UConn Avery Point is an elegant, turn-of-the-century mansion on the Connecticut shoreline. The venue offers panoramic ocean views, a grand oak-carved staircase, a great room with a two-story marble fireplace and rococo ceilings, and a ballroom opening to a stone veranda, terraces, and a lawn that stretches to the Avery Point Lighthouse. Events can be enjoyed on the patio or beneath a tent with sea breezes.
