We visited Grace Farms on a Sunday. It was serene and calm, like going to the spa without getting wet! We sat and had a tea and very much enjoyed a lesson from the tea-maven Brian. He was so knowledgeable about the varieties of teas they stock, as well as all the various methods of brewing the teas. I left with a whole new appreciation. Visiting Grace Farms is a relaxing respite, you feel completely rejuvenated after just an hour or two.

The Philip Johnson Glass House

Reviewed By 244JanetL244 - Fairfield, United States

With C19 visitors are limited to the grounds but the upside is that you can freely roam the 49 acres. The property is filled with ups and downs, texture contrasts, beautiful trees and interesting sight lines. Not being able to go inside the house was somewhat disappointing but given that all walls are glass it's almost like being inside. Guides are positioned around the property to give directions and answer questions. Terri was very knowledgeable and helpful.A great way to spend an hour.

When I moved from England six years ago and Goldenberry moved to town I thought all my Christmases had come at once! We are delighted to have Deb back in town. The knew location (entrance by Vineyard Vines) is unusual in the respect it's first floor offices you turn a corner and Aladdin's Cave is waiting for you. The smaller space is crammed with goodies. Deb has done a fantastic job and I have no doubt that this will become a real destination store!

Beautiful campus, impressive gallery space exhibiting professional artists (free to enter plus a great little shop!), incredible and diverse course selection taught by top notch professional artists from the area. Most inspired by their outreach education programs in Norwalk and Stamford, which brings curriculum-integrated arts education to Connecticut's neediest schools. This is a place everyone should know about and use as a community resource.
