Harkness Memorial State Park

Spread out over 304 acres (123 hectares), Harkness Memorial State Park offers hours of recreational fun in the outdoors. The park is home to the elegant Eolia Mansion that once belonged to the Harkness family, nestled amidst beautiful landscaped lawns and enchanting gardens. The historic mansion was built in the Roman Renaissance Classical Revival style, and its 42 rooms and carriage house are open for tours. With sweeping views of the ocean and perfectly manicured greenery, the park is one of Connecticut's most romantic destinations.
