THE STORY OF WESTPORT





          Westport, CT provides its 26,000+ residents with a storied
          and coveted town-related brand name that invariably
          evokes admiration and envy. Located on the Saugatuck
          River and Long Island Sound, and only 45 miles from
          New York City, Westport is considered by many to be the

          cradle of cultured Connecticut living. It is a community
          where collective commitment to both the arts and the
          manifestations of human achievement reigns supreme.


          Westport's unified dedication to excellence in education,
          the arts, the preservation of its awe-inspiring ecology,
          incomparable parks and recreational resources – and a
          community where all people and faiths are respected
          – makes it abundantly clear that the Westport lifestyle

          is one that has been meticulously managed by the
          community at large for decades. Below are some of the
          many wonders that the town of Westport has to offer…


          Westport's natural beauty and dazzling array of outdoor
          recreational amenities begin with three stunningly
          beautiful beaches – Compo Beach, Old Mill, and Burying

          Hill Beach – each offering distinct seashore experiences.


          Compo Beach is the recreational epicenter of
           Westport's venerated shoreline. Its nearly 30
          acres of combined grounds and shoreline
           supports a myriad of recreational pursuits –
           be it beach volleyball, picnicking, athletic
          fields, concession stand and children's
          playground, all of which make this town a

          favorite summer hot spot.


          Westport’s Longshore Club Park, directly overlooking Long
          Island Sound, includes an 18-hole golf course, sailing
          school, multiple tennis courts, 3 swimming pools, a large
          playscape, picnic area, concession stand, marina, the Inn
          at Longshore and gourmet restaurant.


          The Hunt Club section is a pronounced pastoral area where its
          centerpiece, the Fairfield County Hunt Club, enjoys equestrian
          splendor and other sports amenities.
