Reviews of Lockwood Mathews (Museum)

Joseph Alexander

Kind of rude front desk. Guided tour, cannot tour on your own. Feels a bit money pinching. Windows boarded up no light allowed in on nice day felt a bit closed off to be in a park. Interesting tour however.

Mansion: 2 stars. The mansion is okay. Its very stuffy and tight to navigate through. Parking Lot: Infinite Stars. If want to go on a run around Norwalk/SoNo you should park here. Its less than a 5 minute run to SoNo and its free to park!

Jim Dunne

The mansion is beautifully restored and tells a story about how the owners of mansion lived as well as their servants.

INTERESTING MANSION . NEEDS MORE RESTORATIVE WORK. WHAT WAS RESTORED LOOKS GREAT . WHAT Needs done is the moldings and walls stripped down to bare plaster and wood . So it can show details with distinction

Bruce Brown

Love this place. The restored and the unrestored are a true look at how the wealthy lived.

Our guide, Midge, was fabulous. Tour surpassed our expectations. We’ll be back!

The amazing thing about this mansion is that it pre dates Newport! The house is magnificent any time of year but at the holidays when it is decorated the house exudes a special charm. The collections are amazing. The behind the scenes tour of the upstairs where the staff lived should not be missed. The china collection is also amazing and the story of how it came back to the house is fascinating. The woodwork and elegance throughout is beautiful. This is truly a Connecticut gem.

Great experience. Loved the history and the architecture of the mansion. Rivals the mansions of Newport.

A wonderful place to visit! Mathews Mansion is a beautiful Victorian mansion with many interesting stories and lots of history. A great place to visit! Tour guides are full of knowledge and there is a beautiful gift shop there. Watch for special events too!

Amazing place to see. Great staff

Read reviews online before deciding that this would be one of the stops while visiting family in CT. Drove up from Pittsburgh Halloween weekend and was disappointed to hear it wasn't haunted right when we arrived (although reviews online said it was). The "haunted" tour they took us on while alright was alright, but for out of town travelers we didn't learn really anything about the historical building at all which was a little disappointing. It ended up just being ghost stories. Not what my group expected but still okay.

Upstairs is closed for winter. I was most excited about seeing the upstairs bc I read it wasn't modified. They claimed it wasn't safe in winter but offered no explanation as to how it's different for the other seasons. Without an explanation, it seemed a fake answer to me and I saw an employee who went upstairs. They did not mention "no upstairs_ when I spoke with them on phone. You will miss a lot if you go.

Nice park to visit with kids

David Cooper

Worth taking the tour. Just off exit 14 I95 .interesting house from the 1860s. If you are a history buff you will enjoy the tour. Not for toddlers or young children. Tour guides are very knowledgeable!

Kathleen MacLaughlin

Gorgeous! Great tour. Fascinating history. You must go. You will thoroughly enjoy your visit.

Enola Romano

Amazing craftmanship throughout this historic house. Enjoyed hearing fascinating stories about the Lockwood and Mathews families.

Love this place

Went here for the annual Christmas tree tour and it was cool. The Christmas display wasn’t as big as I had anticipated, but still a good excuse to visit a place with great history. Amazing and intricate woodwork and architecture has been and continues to be restored. Can’t wait for the basement to be done!

Virgil Naveda

Its beautiful

Said they were open. But wasn't. ...

Amazing

Steven Klocke

My wife and I were married here on New Year's Eve. We highly recommend this as an event venue. In addition to being a gorgeous space, the staff were incredibly flexible and accommodating.

Greg Hammond

This incredible home built in 1864-1868 for $2 Million has absolutely amazing woodwork and features. Although only the first floor is open for the holiday season tours, it was well worth the trip. We will definitely go back in the summer to see the second floor.

Tara G

Very pretty area

Sarah Hock

Wonderful, informative tour. 90 minutes for our group.

Karla Sanchez

The inside of this place is freaking amazing! The tour guides explain everything so well! The history behind this mansion quite interesting! Definitely recommend to anyone!

This is a fascinating landmark of American history. This American industrialist's mansion is breathtaking. You simply have to go and see it for yourself.

Mei Ling

Really enjoyed the tour! It is sad that, unlike the Newport Mansions (RI), this historical building has not been restored to a better degree/state... Tour guide, Barbara, was very knowledgeable and showed lots of love for the mansion. Hoping they’re able to get funding/grants to bring this grand mansion to full renovation!

Jason Kim

We were there the day before at 3pm. We were told they only offered the 45 min and not the 90 min tour. They informed us to come back tomorrow at 12pm for the 90 min tour. We show up today at 12 and they informed us they are closed for the weekend for an event. If they told us earlier that they were closed we were have done the 45 min tour. I am upset and furious to find out we are not able to do the tour. Today is our last day here in Norwalk and we did not get to enjoy the mansion. Thanks for nothing.

Reyhan Habib

A wonderful place to visit. The history about this mansion is amazing. Lots of things to learn about. I won this mansion's essay competition in Grade 3 before I moved out of the country. Love visiting this place on vacation.

Historic and memorable

Tyler Canine

It was late and off season, but Melissa was able to show us anyways. Visited from Texas, was not disappointed! Thanks for the wonderful mini tour Melissa!

Michelle Serné

Really educational

luke matarazzo

It was so beautiful inside this mansion. When I went there was a special event so they were only showing the first floor, so it's my mission to go back soon to see the rest of this gorgeous building. Probably not great for the kids, but teenagers and up can appreciate this kind of thing.

wonderful history and so happy it was saved from demolition.

Beautiful building. The docents really know what they are talking about. I was there for the Christmas open house.
