FAIRFIELD â Ogden House & Gardens, an 18th Century saltbox farmhouse at 1520 Bronson Road, will open for the season on Sunday, June 4. Owned and operated by Fairfield Historical Society, Ogden House will be open for tours every Sunday through September, from 1 to 4 pm (except Labor Day weekend).

Built for David Ogden when he married Jane Sturges, the former farmhouse is one of the townâs oldest structures. Spared when the British burned Fairfield in 1779, it now offers a glimpse into the life of a farming family circa 1750.

An 18th Century style kitchen garden, recently redesigned, planted and maintained by Fairfield Garden Club, features herbs and vegetables typical of those used by the Ccolonial housewife for housekeeping, fragrance, medicine and food.

Admission to the house is $2 for adults and $1 for children; members are free. For more information call 203-259-1598.

Founded in 1903, Fairfield Historical Society is a privately supported, non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and interpreting the history of the Fairfield region.

We all know the powers that be float a high number at the voters. If they get that passed they are in hog heaven,they have plenty of fat in the original proposal.The voters will now be shamed into passing the revised budget. I say we vote it down again and see how creative they can get with the numbers.We all know plenty of fat is laced in the proposals.

I, too, love that flagpole. I approach it in the southbound lane, as Mr Gardner described, and it’s an inspiring way to start my day. In addition to all it stands for, it tells me something, whether it’s furling in the wind, or hanging quietly when weather is still, sometimes boldly majestic, sometimes sad or unsure. A gem like no other. I know it generates angst with traffic; approached with the appropriate level of caution, it should not be such a problem. Can’t really blame the flagpole, it doesn’t move. I hope it’s there long after I’m gone, and inspires others as well. Thank you Mr Gardner and all the other current, previous, and even future Keepers of the Flagpole.

$500,000 surplus? Funny how money just shows up when you squeeze. And where did this surplus come from? Our tax dollars, right? I say vote NO again and let's see how much more money they can find.

Very few Republicans in the House have any backbone. They are just glad to be there and would rather cave to Democrat wishes than play hardball to get things done.
