RESIDENT Lincoln's administration originally deeded the Glenacres property to Glenn Peterson in 1861. Mr. Peterson was founder of the city of Westport, then called Peterson Point.

Ben Armstrong and his wife, Minnie Ross Smith purchased the property from Mr. Peterson and built this beautiful home for their seven children around the turn of the 20th century.

In 1943, Glen and Clarine Edwards opened the home to guests. In the 60's, Bobby Kennedy's family stayed at Glenacres Inn during a Department of Fisheries "fact finding trip."

Today, Steve and Leslie welcome guests to Glenacres Historic Inn to enjoy its country hospitality. Located just ten blocks from the Historic Westport Lighthouse, Glenacres Inn is hidden within wooded acreage overlooking the bay. All of the rooms are double occupancy and have private in-room bathrooms.
