The Old Saybrook thank you cards, for the town that is Connecticut’s oldest colony. Thick-stock cards with the Old Saybrook vintage retro logo on the front in black, blank inside, envelopes included.

For the note after the weekend visit, the wedding, the graduation or the holidays: thanks that says where it came from. Choose the size, the finish and the count, and keep a box in the drawer so the note goes out the same week.

Share your gratitude on premium thick 270gsm card stock printed with our retro logo design. These durable, stylish thank you cards come in matte, uncoated, or coated finishes, two convenient sizes, and a choice of count packs, with envelopes included in every set. Printed on the front; blank inside and on the rear for any occasion.

Saybrook Colony was chartered in 1635, when Lion Gardiner built a fort at the mouth of the Connecticut River, making Old Saybrook the oldest officially chartered settlement in the state. Yale College was founded here in 1701 and met in Saybrook until 1716, and in 1775 David Bushnell built the Turtle, the first American submarine, on this shore.

The 1803 Lynde Point Light is the oldest lighthouse in Connecticut, the 1886 Outer Breakwater Light stands beyond it, and the 1790 James Pharmacy is one of the oldest pharmacy buildings in the country. At Fenwick, Katharine Hepburn kept her lifelong home from 1913 on, and The Kate theater opened in her name in 2009. The mark on this piece is the river mouth.

Product FAQs

How does your sizing work?

Every item is made to order, so please check the size chart on this page before you buy. Women's fitted tees run small; size up for a looser fit. Caps are one size with an adjustable strap.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days. You'll get a tracking link the moment it ships. Any current shipping offer is shown in the bar at the top of every page and applies automatically at checkout, no code needed.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

What's the return policy?

Made-to-order items can't be returned or exchanged for size or color, so please use the size chart and photos before ordering. If anything arrives defective, misprinted or damaged, send a photo and your order number within 30 days and we'll replace it or refund you.

The railroad remade the town's geography in 1873, when the Shore Line route and the Connecticut Valley line met at a junction here, and the shoreline that had launched ships began receiving summer visitors instead. Cottage colonies spread along the beaches, and on the peninsula between South Cove and the Sound the borough of Fenwick took shape in the late nineteenth century — shingled houses, a small golf course, and families who returned every summer for generations, the Hepburns among them from 1913.

The colony's first years were hard ones — Saybrook Fort stood under siege through the winter of 1636-37 during the Pequot War, and the settlement that survived grew slowly outward from the fort into a farming and seafaring town. By the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Old Saybrook was a working port: shipyards on the coves, oyster beds in the rivers whose names still say so, and captains' and merchants' houses rising around the green — the Hart House of 1767 and the James Pharmacy of 1790 among the survivors, and the South Green itself now a National Register district of that prosperous port century.
