Ridgefield’s Historic Lounsbury House

Lounsbury House, a Ridgefield landmark since 1896, is the perfect place to celebrate life’s memorable events. This stately mansion, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in 1896 by Phineas Lounsbury, a former Governor of Connecticut. In 1953, the town acquired the property from the Lounsbury heirs, and is now operated as Ridgefield’s Community Center which provides cultural and philanthropic activities for the benefit of the town, and for private events - all while maintaining the historical integrity of the property.

Private rentals may include the entire mansion and grounds for weddings, birthday parties, reunions, fundraising festivities, art shows, food festivals and more.

Upon entering the house, you are greeted at The Main Hall which leads to our Ballroom, Dining Room, Crystal Room and Kitchen, all located on the main floor. The Grand Staircase then brings you to our second level which includes a Grand Foyer, The Bridal Room, The Groom’s Room, Conference Room and Meeting Room. Every room can also be rented and reserved individually with personalized service depending on your needs.

For an appointment to view Lounsbury House, or for further information, please call us at 203-438-6962. We will do everything possible to make your experience at Lounsbury House a magical moment you will never forget!
