Adams Schoolhouse, Easton – Jerry Dougherty
This Fairfield County town is located near the New York border and close to the Long Island Sound. First settled in 1757, it was not until 1845 that Easton separated from neighboring Weston to become its own community. Hilly areas along the Aspetuck River, which runs through Easton, made development difficult, and Easton remains a quiet residential town. Named a National Landmark in 1993, the Ida Tarbell House is located in town, as is the home of activist Helen Keller, who spent her final days in Easton.
