Old Saybrook

Old Saybrook has served as a colonial river settlement on Connecticut’s shoreline since the 17th century. It occupies the west bank of the Connecticut River where it meets Long Island Sound, a position that long linked inland New England with coastal shipping. The Saybrook settlement, established in 1635, was among Connecticut’s earliest English communities, and the former Fort Saybrook site at Saybrook Point recalls its strategic beginnings. Lynde Point Lighthouse stands near the river mouth, while the Fenwick district is associated with actor Katharine Hepburn, who lived there for many years. Beaches, marinas and riverfront neighborhoods give the town a maritime character.
