Deep in the woodland of North Stamford, the Stamford Museum & Nature Center mixes art with nature, history and agricultural sciences. It all sits in 118 acres on the grounds of the half-timbered Bendel Mansion, built in a mock Tudor style in the late-1920s. In this fine building you can look around a diversity of galleries for contemporary art exhi...
A botanical attraction described as a “living classroom”, the Bartlett Arboretum holds more than 3,500 specimens. These are planted in 12 different gardens close to the Stamford Museum. Most of what you’ll see has been gathered from New England. These are complemented by plants from the Caribbean, Africa, Mexico and the Southwestern United States. ...
Over the last 25 years the old heart of Stamford has come through a lot of changes. For one thing, the skyline is unrecognizable from before, with high-rise buildings like the 34-story Parc Tower. And while business is obviously booming, downtown Stamford sparkles with culture and entertainment. I’ll talk about a few spots later in my article, but ...
There’s an icon of Modern architecture in New Canaan, a simple drive east of the Stamford Museum. A single open plan room with glass walls on a slender wooden frame and brick base, the Glass House (1949) was designed by Philip Johnson. It’s a study in minimalism, geometry, reflection, and transparency. To me, it’s a dream home. The house’s only con...
Wallace Harrison (1895-1981), who took part in the construction of the Rockefeller Center, designed another local Modernist masterpiece. The First Presbyterian Church, also known as the Fish Church for how its outline evokes the fish symbol from early Christianity. It was ready in 1958 and is still a wonder more than 65 years later. I’d urge you to...
In the very southeast of Stamford, Cove Island is the site of a 19th-century factory manufacturing bleached minerals, dye extracts and liquorice. The mill was razed by an infamous fire in 1919 and over the next few decades was developed into a park. I’d find it easier to list the things that Cove Island Park doesn’t have, but the main draw in summe...
Right on Long Island Sound, the 80-acre Cummings Park mixes green space and active recreation facilities. Among the features here are a boardwalk, pavilions, fishing pier, snack bar and Cummings Beach. As well as a raft of tennis and basketball courts, Cummings Park has four softball fields and a public marina and boat launch. The beach is sheltere...
The green banks of the Rippowam River are the boundary between Stamford’s West Side and downtown. Mill River Park opened in 2013 after a six-year restoration project on the river. As part of the project this space was joined to Stamford’s Kosciuszko, Scalzi and Southfield parks via a greenway. At Mill River Park there are riverside paths on both ba...
The place to catch a live show in downtown Stamford is this magnificent Art Deco venue that has been around since 1927. Seating 1,580, the Palace Theatre started out as a stage for vaudeville. After spending more than 40 years up to 1983 as a movie theater, it has reverted to live performances in the 21st century. Come for off-Broadway musicals, to...
You might be surprised to discover a hip craft brewery dwelling in this nondescript industrial building on Homestead Avenue. Half Full’s taproom pours the brand’s wide choice of beers, from hoppy pale ales to maltier options. As someone who gravitates towards malty beers, I was pleased with my Dunkel (Dark Lager). To find out what Half Full is all ...
