Winvian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Winvian Farm is a 113-acre (0.46 km2) private, luxury resort located in Morris, Connecticut.
Winthrop H. Smith, a founding partner of Merrill Lynch, and his wife, Vivian, purchased a 113-acre Connecticut farm in 1948, naming it "Winvian", after their combined names. Their son, Winthrop H. Smith Jr. inherited the property and, with his wife, Maggie, commissioned the building of 18 individual architectural cottages on the property, completed in 2006. Winvian became wholly owned by Maggie Smith, who operates it as a boutique hotel with Smith grandchildren, daughter Heather Smith, as managing director, and son Win Smith III, as director of sales and marketing.[1]
