WHS Hosts Walking Tour of Historic District

Led by Ed Gerber, Westport Historical Society (WHS) past president, about 20 persons today attended a walking tour of the Kings Highway North Historic District. The tour was an opportunity for history buffs to learn about one of the town’s oldest settled areas, some homes dating to the mid-1700s. One of the stops (above) was at 78 Kings Highway North, built in 1760 and the prior home of the late Lillian Wadsworth. Her charitable ways include a gift of Old Hill land that is now the location of Earthplace. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
