Up until the mid-1800s, Fairfield was the center of the county’s civic and social life. Many famous visitors stopped in Fairfield, including John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, and George Washington. By the time that the Marquis de Lafayette stops by in 1824, Fairfield was starting to change. Join a special guided tour to spend time in Sun Tavern (c. 1780) and discover the importance of taverns, learn more about the Burr Homestead, and explore the role that Fairfield played amidst Bridgeport’s tremendous growth in the 1800s.
