Immerse yourself in a modern way of thinking.

The New Canaan Historical Society’s biennial Modern House Day Tour + Symposium continues this year with “Modern: A Way of Thinking.” Check-in begins at Grace Farms (365 Lukes Wood Road New Canaan, CT) at 8:30 am with a continental breakfast, followed by the symposium beginning at 9:45 am. Speakers include Hicks Stone, architect, author, and son of Edward Durell Stone; Bill Ryall, FAIA, LEED, PHIUS, and partner at Ryall, Porter, Sheridan; and Sharon Prince, President of Grace Farms.

After the symposium has ended, box lunches will be served. The Modern House Tour will then commence via private vans.
