Southport: The Architectural Legacy of a Connecticut Village
Southport, Connecticut is one of New England's most beautiful villages, a place where the legacy of the past is vividly preserved in its historic residences, churches and civic buildings. A walk along the winding lanes and roads of this hamlet takes you through nearly three centuries of America's architectural heritage. Southport, a book that has been decades in the making, is the landmark publication by The Southport Conservancy about the residents, builders and architects who created this seaport village. It is brilliantly illustrated with contemporary and historic maps, prints and photographs-many never published before-and provides an invaluable remembrance for residents, friends, visitors and scholars.

A historic walking tour has taken on a decidedly modern edge.
The self-guided walking tour of the Southport section, created over 20 years ago on cassette tape, is now available as a free app from iTunes for smartphones. Created by the Southport Conservancy and the Sasquanaug Association, the walking tour remains exactly the same as when first recorded by the late Jason Robards, the award-winning actor who called Southport home.
