The Onera Foundation
At 63 Park Street, a historic New Canaan landmark has found a new purpose. The Onera Foundation has transformed the storied property into a center for exhibitions, education, and advocacy, bringing new energy to the field of architectural preservation and helping to safeguard America’s architectural legacy for future generations.
The Mather Homestead
Of the 65 nationally registered historic landmarks in Connecticut, only one resides in Darien—a 1778 colonial home, now known as the Mather Homestead. One of the finest examples of 18th-century architecture in Darien, and home to six generations of the Mather family, with each generation enriching the home’s tapestry of stories, Executive Director Heather Raker describes the Mather Homestead as a “treasure that captures the unique history of Darien.”
