Produktbeschreibung
West HavenA[a¬a[s history has revolved around its four-mile Long Island shorefront since the days when Dutch settlers first saw the white shell mounds of Native American oystermen. Farming, shipbuilding, sea captains, and British invasions fill the townA[a¬a[s early development. The original six families could not have imagined A[a¬AWest FarmsA[a¬A with the first public library in Connecticut, the second oldest Episcopal church, or a park dedicated to an enemy officer, for whom the main street is named. Thomas Painter, West HavenA[a¬a[s own Paul Revere, escaped an enemy prison ship in Brooklyn, and local sweetheart Marion Bergeron was named Miss America twice. In West Haven, readers will visit old Savin Rock Amusement Park and see the local ballpark where Babe Ruth struck out.
