Siege & Battle of Saybrook Fort Walking Tour

The Old Saybrook Historical Society has developed a walking/biking tour featuring the siege and battles of Saybrook Fort and the Pequot War.  For those seeking to ‘peddle with a purpose,’ the flat, 7 mile route travels past historic homes, beaches, the coastal waters of Long Island Sound, a beautiful 9-hole golf course, one of the oldest cemeteries in the state, and the site where Yale College began.  Cyclists will also pass, but may wish to pause for food or drink at the popular Saybrook Point Inn and before resuming their travel stroll through the nearby Saybrook Fort Monument Park with its many interpretative markers and impressive statue of Lion Gardiner.

An attractive brochure, outlining the route plus an abundance of information about the Fort and the Pequot War, is available at the Historical Society, 350 Main St., Old Saybrook or at the Chamber of Commerce, 1 Main Street.  Copies may be obtained by sending your request with a business size, self addressed, stamped envelope to:  Old Saybrook Historical Society, 350 Main St., Box 4, Old Saybrook, CT  06475
