The Goodbody Garden is a quiet oasis in the heart of the Fort Stamford Site, a public park and home to Fort Stamford. Nestled next to the remnants of the Revolutionary War outpost of Fort Stamford, the beautiful formal garden was initially owned by New York financier Marcus Goodbody whose imposing home with formal gardens were based on the site in the early 20th century. After falling into disrepair, the gardens were lovingly restored to their former glory by the Stamford Garden Club and the Glenbrook Garden Club and today is open to the public. The tranquil gardens feature lovely local fauna and flora, a sunken garden and shady stone-pillared pergola, and grass lawns that are perfect for picnicking.
