Dr. Anna Littlefield Exhibit in the Scytheville House
Lloyd Littlefield, October 2014
Dr. Anna Littlefield's Home Office
New in the Scytheville House is a room repurposed to replicate the home office of Dr. Anna Littlefield, long time New London physician. Born in1859, she passed away in 1952 at the age of 92 years, after practicing medicine for 50 years. She was the first woman doctor in New London.
Pictured left is the late Lloyd Littlefield in his family home on Pleasant Street, New London, with some of Dr. Anna Littlefield's artifacts. Lloyd's sincere desire to have the Dr. Anna collection at the NLHS was realized this summer.
Many thanks are owed to his children, Ruth Littlefield and David Littlefield. Their generous gift of many of Dr. Anna’s physician items as a permanent exhibit will ensure that their great great aunt’s legacy is honored
Dr. Anna Littlefield was a great woman of art, science, and determination. She had an incredible love for the fauna and flora around her and founded the New London Garden Club in 1928, serving as its first president. [more]
Thanks to the Littlefield family, this room will be a permanent part of the museum collection, complete with examining table, desk, chair, and medical supply cupboard.
