Today Greens Farms blends shoreline calm with the deepest colonial memory on the Westport coast. Its story runs from Machamux and the five families of 1648, through the burned and rebuilt parish, the onion boats and the railroad, to the first state park and the quiet lanes of the present. Wear a little of the beautiful land.
The Machamux Boulder on the old Common still marks the 1648 settlement — a village older than its town, named by the census in 2020.
