Brown Harris Stevens Realtors Sponsor ‘New Canaan There & Then’ Local History Feature

May 9, 2025—NewCanaanite.com today announced Brown Harris Stevens Realtors Joanne Santulli, Bettina Hegel, Dawn Sterner and Pam Stutz as sponsors of the local history feature “New Canaan There & Then,” written by the New Canaan Museum & Historical Society. Building and expanding on its predecessor feature called “Now & Then,” which focused on structures and properties around town, “New Canaan There & Then” will also touch on the people, organizations, events and businesses behind defining moments in New Canaan history. “As Realtors and longtime residents of New Canaan, we are so excited to sponsor this beloved and important record of our town’s rich history,” Santulli said. “In examining New Canaan’s past, ‘New Canaan There & Then’ brings our history to life in a way that is both educational and fascinating.”

The local history feature launches with its first installment headlining the Friday, May 16 newsletter. New Canaan Museum & Historical Society Executive Director Nancy Geary said, “I am very pleased that Joanne Santulli, Bettina Hegel, Dawn Sterner and Pam Stutz of Brown Harris Stevens have partnered with the New Canaanite to sponsor the ‘There & Then’ column.

Dear New Canaanite,
We are writing on behalf of the New Canaan Beautification League to extend our warmest thanks to the hardworking team that brought the South Avenue Tree Project to reality. It started with a conversation at Mead Park in the fall sunshine of 2022. The site plans were approved by the State early this year, and 135 new trees are now standing proudly along South Avenue from Cherry Street down to the YMCA.

Coffee’s on for Thursday

Join fellow residents and NewCanaanite.com editor Michael Dinan for the monthly Community Coffee, to be held 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Thursday, May 1 in the Jim & Dede Bartlett Auditorium at New Canaan Library.
