Historical Lisbon
Originally part of Norwich, Lisbon was named as a district in 1718, although at the time it was known as Newent. The center of town is still known as Newent, but Lisbon became the town name in 1786 when resident merchants, Hezekiah and Jabez Perkins, began to trade with Lisbon, Portugal.

Bishop House Museum
Today, Lisbon is home to several historical buildings. Among these is the Bishop House Museum, which was built in 1810. It features a combination of colonial and federal architectural styles with an indoor well and attic smoke chamber.

Newent Congregational Church
Built in 1858, this Greek Revival building was the third for the congregation. The steeple was built in the early 1900s, but it houses a bell that was cast in 1820.
