Collis P. Huntington State Park

Collis P. Huntington State Park is a state-owned, public recreation area in the towns of Redding, Newtown, and Bethel in Fairfield County, Connecticut. The state park is noted for its sculptures of bears and wolves by Anna Hyatt Huntington. The park bears the name of railroad magnate Collis Potter Huntington, whose heirs donated the lands to the state, and was opened to the public following Mrs. Huntington death in 1973.〔
==History==
Under the late 19th-century ownership of Commodore Walther Luttgen, a New York banker, industrialist and yachtsman, park-like features were added to the landscape including service roads, trails, and artificial ponds.〔 One of Luttgen's improvements, a miniature stone lighthouse, may still be seen. The remains of a small steam paddlewheeler that once plied the ponds have not been found.〔
Following Luttgen's death in 1922, Joseph E. Sterrett, a principal with the accounting firm of Price, Waterhouse, acquired the estate, including its mansion, ''Villa Linta''.〔 After the villa burned down, the land was purchased by Archer M. Huntington, the philanthropist stepson of industrialist Collis Potter Huntington.
Archer Huntington and his wife Anna Hyatt Huntington moved to the estate, changing its name to ''Stanerigg'', in 1939.〔 Here Mrs. Huntington worked creating works of realistic sculpture while Mr. Huntington pursued his interests as a poet, Spanish scholar, and patron of the arts. In addition to the bears and wolves that welcome visitors at the entrance of the park, Anna Hyatt Huntington's heroic sculpture of General Israel Putnam can be found at Putnam Memorial State Park in Redding. Her work can also be found at Atalaya Castle—the couple's winter quarters—and Brookgreen Gardens, which are both part of the Atalaya and Brookgreen Gardens national historic landmark in South Carolina.
