Stamford Museum and Nature Center
Stamford Museum and Nature Center Review
Oxen, sheep, pigs, and other animals roam this 118-acre New England farmstead with many nature trails to explore. Once the estate of Henri Bendel, the property includes a Tudor-revival stone mansion, which houses exhibits on natural history, art, and Americana. Also here is a planetarium and observatory with a 22-inch research telescope—perfect for stargazing.
