Lacawac is a historic estate located in Paupack Township and Salem Township, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, United States.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
Built in 1903 as a summer estate for Congressman William Connell (1827-1909), the buildings of this historic property were designed in the Adirondack Great Camp style. Six of the eight original structures remain, including the main house, a barn, a spring house, a pump house, the Coachman's Cabin, and an ice house.
The main house is a -story frame dwelling with a cross gable roof. It features two-story porches and an interior paneled in southern yellow pine.
After Connell's death in 1909, the estate was purchased by Louis Arthur Watres[1] for use as a summer home.[2]
In 1966, the property was deeded to a non-profit organization and subsequently used as a nature preserve, ecological field research station and public environmental education facility.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Lake Lacawac was listed as a National Natural Landmark in 1968.[4]
