High Ridge Road, in the area just south of the Merrit Parkway, is the largest shopping district near North Stamford.

"North Stamford developed with one- and two-acre zoning, looking just like Wilton or New Canaan," Janice Green, the manager of the William Pitt Real Estate office, told The New York Times in 1989.

The museum works with schools in Stamford, Bridgeport, Norwalk, Darien and Greenwich, and more than 10,000 students visit every year.

By 1926 Mary Stella Tisdale Atwood had bought the house from Otto Sarrach and began restoring it.

She sold the estate to William E. Stevenson, a Gold Medal winner in the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris (setting a new world record of 3:16.0 as member of the American 400-meter relay team) and later a president of Oberlin College.

While Stevenson and his wife were in England running American Red Cross operations in World War II, they rented the house to Dorothy Fields, a lyricist.

The Merritt changes its name to the Hutchinson River Parkway entering New York State with the Exit numbers continuing with a few breaks.

The Parkway goes through Westchester County NY into New York City, the Bronx and continues to the Whitestone Bridge into Queens.

Although the Concerned Citizens of North Stamford received about 600 signatures in a petition for the secession movement, it ultimately failed because many North Stamford residents were opposed to the plan and were discouraged by the complex process of secession in the State of Connecticut.

North Stamford contains numerous old cemeteries from the nineteenth century and before, some quite small and often with gravestones bearing elaborate engravings and even poetry.
