More than a decade after his death, Paul Newman continues to give back to Westport.
His and his family’s gift of land from their property — along with their neighbors, the Poses family — resulted in a 39-acre preserve, now managed by Aspetuck Land Trust.
There is a small parking area on Bayberry Lane.
Among the woods, wetlands, open fields, stands of old white pine and a trail,, there’s a half-hidden sign. “Warning Bridge Out,” it says. (Click here to see.)
An old, broken wooden bridge lies nearby. It’s nothing that anyone would think of using.
But it was the subject of last week’s Photo Challenge. Sandra Rothenberg, Lynn Untermeyer Miller, Brandon Malin and Andrew Colabella all knew where in Westport’s woods it can be found.
Newman-Poses preserve is one more of our town’s hidden gems. Along with the hidden sign, about a long-forgotten bridge.
Today’s Photo Challenge is in Spanish. But the “May peace prevail on earth” pole can be found somewhere in Westport.
