History

The family of Enoch Badger Badger-187 lived in the house for 50 years. 
Diaries and photographs by Lois Kelley Gillette-119 about family life in the Badger house in the 1950s are at The Henry Ford Museum , where the Daggett house (link) is also located.
Architectural historian Frederic Palmer of CT Landmarks, then the Connecticut Antiquarian Society, informally advised and guided the Kelleys as they discovered and restored the historic assets of the Badger house.
Mary Wells Dana-1201 onetime owner of the Daggett House (link) was an associate of the Kelleys and Mr. Palmer, and Robert Kelley Kelley-1478 was sometimes employed by them as a photographer, as when the Daggett House was moved.
John (Jack) Hetzel Hetzel-428 was Coventry town historian and board member at the Nathan Hale Homestead, a property of CT Landmarks. He and his family were personal friends of the Kelleys. He and his family helped the Kelleys with the restoration of the house, and helped them with many of the daily tasks of living on a small family farm.
Palmer, Wells and Hetzel are all included in Lois Kelley's papers.
