The Yale Indians Paper Project humanities endeavor is researching an accurate accounting of the history of Connecticut’s coastal Native Americans. The Revolutionary War brought the British to Campo Beach. Agriculture and a flourishing seaport preceded the artsy types from New York who snapped up real estate at the turn of the century including the wild F. Scott Fitzgerald and sassy Zelda which makes good Westport lore. The arts endure throughout the pandemic at the iconic Westport Country Playhouse. STORY HOUR WITH JENNY via ZOOM is being offered through June 6th. Only 47 miles from NY City, Westport’s vibe is infectious. The Westport Historical Society slogan, “Keeping Westport Alive,” is apropos where great love and respect for this community is its very foundation.

Westport is neatly carved by the Saugatuck River. Each side is uniquely decorated by well-preserved, historic treasures and modern architecture that gently intertwine, connected by the much-admired Saugatuck Bridge. The Saugatuck Rowing Club unites boating enthusiasts where they can take advantage of the abundant water resources and camaraderie. Campo Beach, Old Mill Beach, Burying Hill Beach and Sherwood Island State Park on Long Island Sound are marvelous havens easily accessible from the town center by bicycle or car. Expanse of beaches, jetties, and picnic tables under shady pines make an inviting destination for a day of sun and fun, fishing or an evening stroll. Campo Beach has additional perks for the antsy; playscapes and volleyball.

The Westport community is passionate about its preservation.

The Westport Historic Society, The Architectural Review Board and other organizations work tirelessly to ensure that any changes are positive and complimentary. BEDFORD SQUARE is an example of a thoughtfully designed, award winning project that has enhanced the downtown area with a multi-use purpose and consideration of its history. Westport is a work of art that is always evolving, yet stays true to its unique personality.
