Sample the high life at these 4 mansions

“Bridgerton” took the world by storm last year. The Netflix series is a sort of “Gossip Girl” meets Jane Austen story about the London social season in the Regency era set among some truly stunning estates and mansions.

The show has recently been renewed for season two, but no release date has been announced yet.

In the meantime, explore these mansions in Connecticut that will make visitors feel like they’re being courted by the Duke.

Read on for four historic house and mansion tours worthy of a fall afternoon.

Lockwood-Mathews Mansion — Norwalk

This Norwalk mansion was completed in 1868 after four years of construction. According to the website, this house was “technological marvel of its time” with indoor hot and cold plumbing, gas lighting, ventilation and a central heating system that burned a ton of coal a day. Now the house is a national historic landmark. There are two tours offered, a 60-minute tour of the first floor and a 90-minute tour of the whole house. The mansion also hosts virtual and in-person events throughout the year.
