Victorian Darien: A Historic Homes Happy Hour Tour
Saturday, May 3, 2025 at 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Step inside historic homes as we take a one hour tour of Prospect Avenue, one of Darien’s most charming streets. Its residences reflect a variety of the architectural styles en vogue in the late 19th century—Queen Anne, Italianate, and more! Prospect Avenue also has a distinct place in the town’s history as its first subdivision, laid out in 1867 and quickly attracting wealthy and sophisticated newcomers. “The prospects are that Darien is about to awake from its long sleep,” wrote the Norwalk Gazette in anticipation of this milestone.Interior stops include a lovely Queen Anne home and the beautiful Italianate-style George Mather House.Join us for this unique experience to see historic homes, inside and out, and immerse yourself in culture and history.
The tour is in partnership with HisTOURy and refreshments will be offered after at Museum of Darien.
Parking is available at MoD (a short walk from Prospect Avenue) or on Prospect Avenue.
