OLD SAYBROOK — If you’re in a small New England town and want to get a cup of coffee, mail a letter, window shop, find a church, butcher or baker, or maybe take in some local entertainment, it’s likely you’ll head for Main Street.
Old Saybrook’s Main Street is such a place and has been for most of the town’s 400 some years. Each generation formed a layer, adding to the town’s rich foundation. Businesses and people have come and gone while many of the streets, buildings and houses they inhabited over the centuries remain.
