Stamford Museum & Nature Center

The Stamford Museum & Nature Center is a hands-on attraction popular with residents of all ages. Whether you come to explore the winding walking trails, admire the statues that dot the hilltop garden, or let the kids run wild in one of Connecticut's best playgrounds, you're in for a treat. In the Recycled ReCreations Makerspace, you can make something unique out of recycled materials, go bird-watching, or spend time getting to know the animals at the center's adorable Heckscher Farm.

This working New England farm is home to farm animals such as goats, horses, and chickens. It also has a Maple Sugar House. The Overbrook Nature Center & Gift Shop is not to be missed, especially on Sundays when the Explorer's Program is available for children. Inside, you'll find adorable creatures to examine while your children borrow an Explorer's Backpack to join you on the hike. Join them each Sunday to support local agriculture and pick up some great products and produce. Many of their favorite vendors will be returning along with some new friends. The Heckscher Farm tent will have all of your favorite maple syrup, SM&NC’s Heckscher Farm blend coffee, Arethusa products, and more. Be sure to check below for the most up-to-date list of vendors. As always, admission to the market is free.
