For 135 years, Pequot Library has been the center for history and culture in coastal Southport, Connecticut. This community, which features countless homes and properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places, treasures its heritage.
Join our trained docents and historians to learn the story of Southport’s Golden Age, tracing the community’s rise as an agricultural outpost in the Colonial period through its evolution into a thriving commercial center, replete with Connecticut’s best example of mid-nineteenth century architectural styles.
A stroll through Southport is not only a walk through time–it invites participants to contemplate the significance and worth of our collective built environments. This tour, newly invigorated in the last year, will delight everyone from history buffs and architects to curious neighbors and weekend walkers.
Meet on Pequot Library’s Great Lawn. $10/person. Registration required. Limited to 12 attendees per tour.
Private walking tours are also available and may be planned according to your schedule. The cost is $25/person with a limit of eight guests per group.
