The Norwalk Recreation and Parks
Department will be joining more than 200 organizations and attractions
statewide in a unified celebration
of Connecticut’s world
of art, history and cultural assets.
Visitors, for the
first time, will be able to tour the historic mansion and view a special exhibit
of the estate history. Completed in 1931 by industrialist Edward
Beach Gallaher it was both a statement of his success and a showcase of devices which
likely intrigued the successful
inventor. An
elevator, an “intercom”,
call buttons and an incinerator
were all part of the modern conveniences
that filled the interior.
