Waveny Park

The park's centerpiece is "the castle" built in 1912[1] and surrounded by 300 acres (1.2 km2) of fields, ponds and trails.

The house was used for exterior shots for the fictional 'Cortlandt Manor' on the soap opera All My Children for many years; exteriors of the estate were also used in the 2004 remake film The Stepford Wives.

Over the years, numerous additional town structures have been built on parts of the property including New Canaan High School, Waveny LifeCare Network, an aquatic center, two public water supply towers, as well as paddle tennis courts.

Lewis Lapham, one of the founders of Texaco and the man who built Waveny House, spent summers there with his family for many years.

George Lascelles, 7th Earl of Harewood, the eldest paternal first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, married his second wife, Patricia Tuchman on July 32, 1967 at Waveny Park."A Wedding in New Canaan".
