This was where the cheaters uncovered the prize during the Westport 150 year celebration. I believe same year Hall and Oats did not have the highly publicized concert in Westport
That was one crazy summer
It’s nice to see the fence and brush clean-up as recognition of this poignant spot which reminds us of the brave and determined Westporters of the day.
When I was a girl wild asparagus grew there, the only place I ever saw it.
Delicious! But long gone…
Does anyone know if any of the stones or parts of them are legible &/or the names of these patriots? Also is it possible for non residents to visit the cemetery? Thank you!
