Multiple members of QEMT collaborated on the design, printing, and installation of four "historic markers" around Fair Haven Heights. These signs, funded by a grant, help tell the story of our community from including the oystering tradition of the Quinnipiac people, the development of homes and churches along the waterfront, and the industries that made the village of Fair Haven prosperous.
Thank you to the following people who made this project possible!
