Tarrywile Mansion is a 23-room Victorian estate built in 1897 for Dr. William Conrad Wile, a prominent Danbury physician, on the grounds of what is now a 722-acre municipal park. Designed in the Shingle Style by the New York firm Child and DeGoll, the mansion features a wrap-around veranda, grand entrance hall with sweeping staircase, and a glass conservatory — added in the early 1900s by subsequent owner Charles Darling Parks — that now serves as a backdrop for wedding ceremonies. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Since reopening in 1990 as a community and event center, the mansion has hosted weddings, milestone celebrations, corporate gatherings, and private parties. Full house rentals include the first floor — encompassing the living room, drawing room, library, dining room, kitchen, and veranda — along with second-floor bridal and groom's suites. The mansion accommodates up to 120 guests for a seated dinner or buffet and up to 150 for a standing cocktail reception. Tables and chairs are included, and the venue welcomes licensed independent caterers.

The Patio Party area, situated on the lakefront adjacent to the park restaurant, accommodates groups of 50 to 200 under covered awnings with views of Lake Quassapaug.
