Question
The Story of Waveny
Answer
Waveny House was constructed in 1912 for the Lewis Lapham family and sits majestically overlooking three hundred acres of Connecticut countryside. The House was designed by W.B. Tubbs of Greenwich. The gardens and grounds were laid out by Frederick Law Olmstead, Jr., of Boston, a well- known landscape architect. Mrs. Lapham named Waveny House after Waveny River in England where Lapham ancestors had once lived. In August of 1967, the Town of New Canaan purchased the House and property from Mrs. Ruth Lapham Lloyd. At that time the Park was named Waveny Park.
