Generations of Memories
The estate was built in 1920 and maintained as a 600-acre prize dairy farm. In 1980, Tim and Helene Guinee purchased the original estate house and 36 acres of surrounding land. In 1982, together with their 12 children, they planted the 1,300-tree orchard, which features a variety of apples, peaches, and pears. Named to reflect an Irish farming heritage, Connemara House has been open to the public for picking in the fall; for many, it has become a family tradition to spend a day relaxing in the peaceful setting, sipping freshly pressed cider, enjoying a picnic by the pond, and tossing the football around with friends. In an effort to keep the orchard a part of the family and community for future generations, six of Tim and Helene’s sons decided to expand their agritourism foot print with the establishment of Connemara House as a premier wedding and event venue. Committed to a farm-to-table philosophy, everything offered here is fresh, local, sustainable, and delicious!
