Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum preserves a grand nineteenth-century house in Norwalk’s Mathews Park.
The Second Empire architecture and richly finished interiors offer a close view of the ambitions and domestic world of wealthy families during the Gilded Age.
The house is shown by guided tour, with current options covering specified rooms and service areas. Book through the museum’s visitor page and check which parts of the building are included before arriving.
