Overview
The ambitious traveler or today's soccer mom will travel past rolling hills, rock outcroppings, lakes and fields, babbling streams and through housing developments—in 277 years of existence not much has changed. Graced by fields, pastures and open land, Lewisboro was once considered as a possible location for the headquarters of the United Nations. Within commuting distance of Manhattan but with a landscape and culture more akin to its New England neighbors, it's no wonder. From debates over smallpox inoculations to a survey of the area's remarkably fine dining options, official town historian Maureen Koehl has culled the best of her popular "Window Into History" column to create a charming and wide-ranging history of Lewisboro and its six hamlets that is sure to enchant visitors and longtime residents alike.
