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.
