Listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and a part of a U.S. National Historic Landmark District, the Connecticut Audubon Society Birdcraft Museum and Sanctuary is one of the oldest private sanctuaries of its kind in the nation. The six-acre site was originally planted by Mabel Osgood Wright in 1914 as a way of attracting, feeding, and providing refuge to resident and migratory birds. Visitors will be able to see some of the 120 species of birds which come there. Additional aspects include a bird banding station and a natural history museum displaying dioramas and mounted preserved animals.
