Historic

The Gold Coast of Connecticut is rich with history, from the colonial-era Bush-Holley House in Greenwich, now home to the Greenwich Historical Society, to Stamford’s Hoyt-Barnum House, the city’s oldest dwelling. In Darien, the Mather Homestead showcases Revolutionary War–era architecture, while New Canaan is celebrated for its modernist “Harvard Five” homes, preserving a unique mid-century design legacy. Norwalk’s Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum offers a glimpse into 19th-century Gilded Age life, and Fairfield’s historic Green, dating back to 1639, remains a centerpiece of community life. In Westport, the historic Saugatuck River and old mill sites tell the story of the town’s maritime and industrial roots.
