Unless you are dedicated to colonial living, chances are the ancillary structure on your property is not being used as originally intended. That’s certainly true for one Fairfield County family of six, who transformed an old dairy barn into 5,000 square feet of ebullient entertaining space—and then some.

The Forgotten Theater in Connecticut Has an Eerie Backstory

In the heart of Derby, the state's smallest city, an old Victorian building that once uniquely served as both the community's bustling cultural center and local city jail now ranks among the most eerie abandoned places in Connecticut. The Sterling Opera House, which closed its doors in 1945, has long since been left to deteriorate and crumble, but remains a fascinating structure filled with rich history, local lore, and a possible paranormal presence.

Anita Louise House: A Home for the Wandering Artist

With a flexible studio and an unconventional approach to hospitality, the Anita Louise House prepares to open in Westville. Cities are eager to celebrate and market their creative communities, but struggle to address the challenges its artists face to live and create in a city. The Anita Louise House, a new project in New Haven founded by Mistina and Luke Hanscom, begins with a deceptively simple question: What would it mean to support artists by literally making room for them? This idea grew out of the Hanscoms’ twenty years of involvement in New Haven’s arts community. Through their work founding Lotta Studio and West River Arts, a collective of artist studios in Westville, they have seen how much of a city’s cultural life depends on artists and those who support them. However, it is difficult for all parties to secure the basic resources needed to keep that work going.

GIVEAWAY: Tickets to Ann's Place Festival of Trees, November 20-22

Mark your calendars for one of Greater Danbury's most beloved family events: Ann's Place 24th Annual Festival of Trees on Friday, November 20 through 22, 2026 at The Summit in Danbury (100 Reserve Road). I've been attending this event with my daughters (age 17 and 14) since they were just toddlers! It has always been a highlight of the season for us. We put on festive attire (the trees make a wonderful backdrop for holiday photos!), load up on raffle tickets to try to win some of our favorite trees, shop the boutique, enjoy baked goodies and take in the sounds of the holiday entertainment! And the best part is that the event helps to raise funds for Ann's Place -- an amazing local resource dedicated to help individuals and families in the community who are facing cancer. This is one event not to be missed!
