The Glass House
Reserve a timed tour before the weekend. The visit begins downtown and reaches the 49-acre property by shuttle.
Things to do
Modernism first, then village streets and parkland
Book the Glass House and Grace Farms as separate reservations. Between them, walk Elm Street, Waveny Park, the museum campus, or the Nature Center instead of adding a distant Fairfield County attraction.
Grace Farms
Schedule free admission in advance for the River building, meadows, Cattail Pond loop, art, tea, and current programs.
Waveny Park
Give the town’s broad lawns, woodland paths, Waveny House setting, and recreational landscape an unhurried walk.
New Canaan Museum
The Bartlett Center and museum campus connect colonial New Canaan with the town’s modernist legacy.
New Canaan Nature Center
Meadows, ponds, woodland, gardens, animal exhibits, and easy trails offer the softest family-friendly morning.
Elm Street
Shopfronts, coffee, restaurants, the station, and the Glass House visitor center make downtown the trip’s natural hinge.
