Visitor Center (1893 Pavilion)

Visitor Center

(1893 Pavilion)

This building was originally built in 1893 as the park pavilion. It was used as a shelter for park visitors during inclement weather, for dances and picnics.

The upstairs was used as the original park museum. The building was dismantled board by board in 2005, and reconstructed into a four-season climate-controlled visitor center.

Marker can be reached from the intersection of Putnam Park Road (Connecticut Route 58), on the right when traveling south.
