Stephen Tyng Mather Home, National Historic Landmark home in Darien, Connecticut.
The Stephen Tyng Mather Home features a central chimney, five-bay design, and wood-frame construction spread across two and a half stories.
Built in 1778 by Deacon Joseph Mather, the house became the residence of Stephen Tyng Mather, who established the National Park Service in 1916.
The property includes multiple educational programs about conservation, local history, and environmental stewardship through guided tours and workshops.
The museum opens Tuesday through Thursday from 11 AM to 3 PM and Friday through Saturday from 1 PM to 3 PM with advance reservations required.
The 1927 renovation by architect Thomas Harlan Ellett added a side porch, two-story extension, and entrance portico while maintaining original interior features.
