Although New Canaan is surely a nice place to live, there’s really only one thing about this town in Connecticut that will lure day trippers its way – its architecture. New Canaan was a haven for a small group of Modernist architects in the 20th century and, as a result, is home to some truly inspiring architectural landmarks. The most famous attraction is the Glass House, a fully transparent home designed by Philip Johnson on a property that visitors can take tours through. But there are other unusual attractions to seek out here like the modern architecture of the River Building at Grace Farms or the New Canaan Nature Center with its diverse gardens.
