A VERY Special 175th Birthday RE-ENACTMENT!!!
“Breaking News, May 28, 1835…Connecticut charters new town, called ‘Westport’. (What? Not Saugatuck?)” 

Saugatuck Church

Don’t miss this one! Westport’s Dianne Wildman (News 12 Editorial Director), along with our current Selectmen and key figures, past and present, will converge on the lawn of Saugatuck Congregational Church (aka Westport’s first Town Hall), to sort out “how Westport came to be” and what’s happened since. (The short version.) Event will culminate with a blow-out-the-candles birthday cake ceremony for Our Favorite Town.
