of Stratford origin. The beautiful paneled "west roome" contains an early piano
which belonged to William Samuel Johnson, framer of the U.S. Constitution, and

National Helicopter Museum
The Museum contains hundreds of photographs and models tracing the history of
the helicopter both in the United States and around the world. An airport and
seaplane base built in Stratford in the 1920's brought Igor Sikorsky to the area
to build his flying boats. Then Sikorsky flew his US300 Helicopter in September
1939 in Stratford and produced many helicopters and rotary wing aircraft from
that time. Stratford is the birthplace of the American helicopter industry.
