The Westport Historical Society will host a reception Sunday, April 17 to mark the season opening of its unique cobblestone barn housing the Museum of Westport History.
The 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. event will feature music and historic re-enactments by the Staples Players in authentic costumes.
The only octagonal-roof, cobblestone barn in Connecticut, the building houses a diorama of the town as it looked toward the end of the 19th century.
Donated by Westporters Ray and Barbara Howard, the display includes an audio accompaniment recorded by Joanne Woodward.
