Best of New Canaan’s Modern Architecture Tour

October 20, 2022

This New Canaan Museum & Historical Society docent-led tour explores three of New Canaan, Connecticut’s finest architectural gems: The Glass House designed by Philip Johnson, SANAA’s Grace Farms, and the Eliot Noyes house. 

Visit these architectural masterpieces, learn about the architects and what inspired them, and enjoy a drive through bucolic New Canaan. Transportation will be provided and there is ample parking at the Museum for those arriving by car. The event concludes with a wine and cheese reception at a private residence designed by the architect James Evans in 1961 which features one of the town’s rare hyperbolic paraboloid roofs.. 

The event is part of October4design, New Canaan’s ten day celebration of architecture, art, design and the community where it happens and Archtober, NYC’s annual festival of architecture activities, programs, and exhibitions during the month of October.
