One Great Family, One Giant Man

The Westport Historical Society unveiled its latest exhibits this evening.

One honors the Gault family‘s 5 generations of ingenious, important service to our community.

Three generations of Gaults (including Donahers and Sterlings) pose at this evening’s Westport Historical Society opening reception.

The other exhibit celebrates the life of Tracy Sugarman, the beloved illustrator/author/social justice advocate who died in January at 91.

A videotaped interview, artwork, book covers and other memorabilia are all part of the Tracy Sugarman exhibit.

Whether you know a ton about Westport’s history or nothing at all, these shows should not be missed. They provide valuable insights into who we are as a community — and who helped get us where we are.

The exhibits run through September 2. But see them now.

A perfect time is Memorial Day. The Westport Historical Society is open — and it’s right next to Veterans Green, where the post-parade ceremony takes place.
