Ogden House in Fairfield is Open
In today’s tear-down and new construction culture, authentic places of history are a rare find. Fairfield, being one of Connecticut’s earliest towns, is fortunate to have many historic homes and properties that one may visit.

A close friend of ours is considering moving to Fairfield from one of the other towns in the county. The town they live in is very well-regarded and is definitely upper-middle class. They are happy where they are, but feel they could be doing better here. And to be honest, I’m not at all surprised. [...]

That’s right, this Sunday May 10, is Mother’s Day—rain or shine. Happily, [...]
Hey Fairfield, your property taxes are going up. Maybe.
This past Tuesday evening, in a capacity crowd at Osbourne Hill School, the RTM passed the Town budget ($274m) in a 34-14 vote. This included a Board of Education budget that had already been trimmed by $3m and is now at the same level as last year’s BOE budget. The BOE budget is the largest [...]
