About this episode

The episode explores the 300-year history of North Haven, detailing its transformation and significant events.

Join Esperanza and Irwin for a journey into the rich, 300-year history of North Haven, with gratitude to the book by Don Taylor for providing much of the content. We'll explore the peninsula's transformation—from early 17th-century native lands to a vibrant retreat for whaling captains, the dramatic Fahys estate colony, the theatrical Actor's Colony, and present-day, including its incorporation as a village in 1931 to maintain its rural and residential appeal. Listening is Believing.
