[1] The Nathan Lattin Farm is located in a rural setting in southeastern Newtown, on 58 acres (23 ha) of land abutting the Halfway River, the town's border with Monroe.

The property is now mostly wooded, and includes a farmhouse, a period icehouse, a 20th-century reproduction of an older barn, and the foundational remnants of other outbuildings.

The farmhouse is a three-bay Colonial with a side-gable roof and a large central chimney, and is built on a fieldstone foundation.

[2] The earliest documented colonial settlers of this area were the Lattins, whose name appear on a property listing in 1767.

The property was farmed by the Lattins until about 1897, when it was sold out of the family and adapted for use as a summer residence.
