Sightseeing

More than a typical urban park, Tarrywile Park & Mansion is 722 acres of undulating greenery on what used to be a farm and orchard. Where Tarrywile Park really stands out is for the lovely historic properties within its borders. The finest has to be the Shingle Style Tarrywile Mansion, raised in 1897 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places. This elegant building can be toured by appointment and is rented out for weddings and special events. Another structure at the park is the Gothic Revival Hearthstone Castle, dating from 1899 and awaiting restoration. In spring and summer you can amble in the flower garden, while the picnic area is in a pastoral orchard. The Children’s Garden has a pond with koi carp and bullfrogs in the reeds, and there’s yoga in the park every Sunday morning from Memorial Day to Labor Day

At the old Union Station on the Danbury Branch of the Metro-North Railroad there’s a museum telling the story of the railroads in southern New England and neighbouring New York. The station dates to 1903 and closed in 1993 when a new station was built on the other side of the block. It’s a handsome building in a Richardson Romanesque style with fine Colonial Revival flourishes.

For a sense of place, drop by this museum on Main Street, which preserves an ensemble of five historic buildings. Apart from Huntington Hall, which was built in 1963 and houses the offices, gift shop and library, the structures include the John Rider House (1785), John Dodd Hat Shop (1790), the Little Red Schoolhouse (late-18th century) and the Marian Anderson Studio. The latter was used by the world-famous operatic contralto Marian Anderson (1897-1993), who lived in Danbury for more than a half a century.

The site is ivesconcertpark This gorgeous pond-side park is next to the Western Connecticut State University campus west of Danbury and is named for the Modernist composer Charles Ives (1874-1954) who was born in the city. Ives Concert Park pays tribute to this cultural connection with a rich programme of concerts and theatre performances at its amphitheatre on weekends in the summer months. This series attracts more than 60,000 people and is the only stage in the area dedicated to live entertainment. At the time of writing in July 2019 the programme included a production of Much Ado About Nothing, ballet, live comedy, a reggae festival and a concert by Jefferson Starship, among a host of other events.

North of the city proper, there’s another place to enjoy Candlewood Lake in amongst the suburban communities on the lake’s western shore. On rocky terrain with some awesome perspectives of the lake, Bear Mountain Reservation is threaded with twisting trails that guide you into deep woodland and then out onto glorious open meadows. There are ten colour-coded trails, the longest of which is the Red Trail, at 1.7 miles.

Local Guide·278 reviews·29 photos 2 years ago Great place to hike. It is a difficult trail. Also, the cell service isn't great. It's important to take a picture of the trails on the map at the beginning of the trail. There's a good chance you won't be able to use the trail app. I didn't see bathrooms. Parking is limited.
