Roger Sherman Inn

The Roger Sherman Inn is a landmark dining and event venue located in New Canaan, CT. The inn’s New England charm makes it a picturesque destination for celebrations of all sizes and styles. It features several banquet rooms and gardens, all of which serve as a charming foundation for any occasion. The late 18th-century house was originally the home of Reverend Justus Mitchell and his wife, Martha. Martha was the niece of Roger Sherman, who served as a delegate at the First Continental Congress. The property was bought in the second half of the 19th century and underwent extensive renovations. It briefly became a school and inn in 1925, but following the closure of the school, the inn remained successfully in business. In 1960, it fell into the hands of Roger Sherman Ross, a descendant of the Founding Father, and was renamed after him. The 250-year-old property is now owned by Joseph and Nes Jaffre, who are committed to showcasing the inn’s history and treating guests to world-class cuisine. Featuring white siding and dark shutters, the Roger Sherman Inn exudes the quintessential New England vibe. The surrounding gardens are neatly landscaped and serve as an enchanting setting. There are several private dining rooms available for events of all sizes, all featuring elements of the building’s history while maintaining their own flair. Furnishings and decor are elegant and classic with a slight nod to colonial style. The inn’s guestrooms and suites can be rented for the occasion to get ready or relax after the festivities or for anyone visiting in town needing a quiet respite.
