Lacawac, Historic estate and natural landmark in Wayne County, Pennsylvania.
The 461-acre property includes a 2.5-story main house with cross gable roof, two-story porches, and southern yellow pine interior paneling.
Built in 1903 for Congressman William Connell, the estate features six remaining original structures designed in the Adirondack Great Camp architectural style.
The estate became a non-profit organization in 1966, transforming into a nature preserve, ecological research station, and environmental education facility.
Lake Lacawac provides researchers and students with opportunities to study limnology and conduct field experiments in an undisturbed glacial environment.
Lake Lacawac maintains its status as North America's southernmost unpolluted glacial lake, formed over 13,000 years ago during the last ice age.
