From Farms to Trolleys: Stratfield Neighborhood Walking Tour

With roots as farmland, Stratfield has seen many changes over Fairfield’s history. The neighborhood of Stratfield boomed in the 1800s due to the industrial might of Bridgeport, transforming into a suburb of the growing city. Join a special walking tour to explore neighborhood sites, trace the area’s development, and discover the different communities who called Stratfield home.
