Knobloch Family Farmhouse
on Heckscher Farm

Montagno Construction was selected to construct the new, 5,000 sf farmhouse education and
welcome center, new maple sugaring house, and a new ticket booth at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center. Our work included installation of landscaped, park-like grounds with seating areas, fire pits, and fountain, and renovating the near parking lot.

This work effectively created a new public entrance farther west on Scofieldtown Road for the Nature Center with an event space and restrooms. This configuration will accommodate increased programming available to area school children and families in Connecticut and New York.
