dedicated in honor and memory of
Fairfield's first Selectman
John J. Sullivan
(1906 – 1997)
Who spent 24 years (1959 – 1983) as town leader. Our town was his life. He lived his values, respected the dignity of others and promulgated programs that strengthened the community he held so dear. Through his foresight and tireless efforts, Fairfield became the symbol of open space preservation in Connecticut. We proudly remember his prophetic words …
"Each of us has the privilege and obligation to preserve and improve the character of Fairfield for generations yet unborn"
