Westport Celebrates 250 Years of America

America 250 Westport celebrates the nation’s 250th birthday through a distinctly local lens, linking the Compo Beach landing of April 1777, the march to Danbury, and the battles on our shores with the people and places we know today. We invite you to explore exhibits, walking tours, oral histories, student projects, and community events that bring Westport’s past to life. Share your family stories, volunteer at events, and help us preserve the landmarks that shape our town’s identity.
