The Jabez Smith House is a historic house museum on North Road in Groton, Connecticut. It is owned by the town of Groton and open to the public on weekends from April through November. It features 18th and 19th-century antiques. The house is a 1-1/2 story Cape style house, believed to have been built c. 1783 on a foundation dating to the 17th century. It is five bays wide, with a center entrance and a large central chimney. It is the only 18th-century farmhouse to survive on Groton's Poquonock Bridge area, which was once its principal agricultural area.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 15, 1981.[1]
