Harkness Memorial Park
Waterford, Connecticut
Harkness Memorial State Park is the former estate of Edward Stephen Harkness and his wife Mary Stillman Harkness. Edward and Mary were the beneficiaries of a fortune amassed by Edward’s father Stephen V. Harkness, who was a silent partner of John D. Rockefeller in the Standard Oil Corporation.
The Harkness Estate was bequeathed to the people of the State of Connecticut and became a State Park in 1952. The Roman Renaissance Classical Revival-style mansion has 42 rooms and includes a pergola (tearoom) and carriage house (support complex). Lush gardens flank the mansion on both the east and west lawns, and an Alpine Rock Garden adds to the beauty and splendor of the seaside panorama.
Visiting the park is well worth the time. Bring your camera and plan on spending a couple of hours there.
