Historical Commission Meeting Friday 2/23 @ 10 AM

The Historial Commission will be holding a special meeting on Friday, February 23 at 10 AM in the basement of Town Hall to discuss the proposed demolition of the farm house at the Tuckerman Farm on Horseneck Rd. The issue is whether to invoke a demolition delay or allow the house to be demolished without delay. Please plan to attend, especially if you have any information on the history of the Farm and the structure.

“Uncovering Westport’s Scottish Roots”

“Uncovering Westport’s Scottish Roots” with Albert E. Lees III
Thursday, March 15, 2007
7: 30 PM at the Lees Community Room
Lees Market, 796 Main Road, Westport

Please join us for a program that explores the experience of Scottish immigrants in Westport. Albert Lees will share his ongoing research into not only his own Scottish roots, but also those of many other Westport families, many of them such as the Boan and Smith families closely associated with Westport’s farming traditions. There will be a special opportunity for members of the local community with Scottish connections to share their own family stories that might add to this little documented chapter in Westport’s history. We welcome your participation!

Albert E. Lees III is the owner of one of Westport’s most widely recognized landmarks, Lees Market.

Admission is free, but donations will be gladly accepted. Refreshments will be provided. Please call 508-636-6011 for reservations so that we can plan accordingly.
