Westport (Massachusetts) History

Thanks April, 2004

We thank the Howard Bayne Fund for their continued support. A portion of their donation will be used for educational purposes – to pay for the publication of An Elementary Introduction to the History of Westport to be distributed to the third graders at the Elementary School. We are immensely grateful to Andrea and Bunt Powning for preparing this marvelous introduction, and to Carla Moran for creating the wonderful drawings that accompany the text.
We are grateful as well to Helga Nichols for preparing an index to the Historic Properties volumes prepared by the Historical Commission. It has been difficult to locate properties from the volumes, and this index will ease consultation and will also help to preserve the volumes from excessive thumbing. We shall be providing a copy of this index to the Town Library.
We thankGrimshaw-Gudewicz Foundation for a grant that makes it possible for us to publish The Harbinger.
