The 120-year-old Nathan Hale Memorial Fountain, restored through the efforts of Daughters of the American Revolution Regent Lisa Wilson Grant, will be unveiled at 1:30 p.m. Sunday June 6 at Fodor Farm Community Garden, located at 328 Flax Hill Road. Grant, who is credited with designing the garden where the fountain will reside, will be given an award by Tod Bryant of the Norwalk Preservation Trust. Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling will rededicate the fountain, and refreshments will be on hand.
Hale, who paused in Norwalk before sailing to Long Island to spy on the British army for General George Washington, was captured and hanged in 1776. His famous last words were reported to be “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.”
