Seth Low Pierrepont State Park Reserve was a gift  to the Connecticut State Park and Forest Commission from Seth Low Pierrepont upon his death in 1956.  Mr. Pierrepont was a millionaire and ex-diplomat who served as a United States official in Lisbon, Rome, Paris, Santiago and Chile.  He also worked as chief of the American Division of the State Department.  Mr. Pierrepont purchased the estate from the Scott family in the early 1930's.
