The Kimberly Mansion is a historic house at 1625 Main Street in Glastonbury, Connecticut, United States. It was the home of Abby and Julia Evelina Smith, political activists involved in causes including abolitionism and women's suffrage. By contesting the assessment on their property and protesting against "taxation without representation," they brought international attention to the cause of women's rights.[2]
