WELCOME TO FAIRFIELD


        Fairfield, Connecticut is a town consistently celebrated by
        Money magazine as one of the Best Places to Live. The iconic
        town of Fairfield is situated on the picturesque and ecologically
        flourishing Long Island Sound, home to five town beaches and

        commitment to provide a superior education for all of its children

        learning, Fairfield University and Sacred Heart University, alphabetically
