Historic Homes – The Mather Homestead in Darien

darien 5-11

You might miss this 18th century architectural artifact in passing, but take a second look! The Mather Homestead, located on Darien’s Brookside Road, was built in a secluded location in hopes of keeping it safe from the British Raids common at the time. Locals entrusted valuables and keepsakes with the Mathers family, who would hide them in various locations on the property. This didn’t stop the British though, who made the trek to the home in 1782, stealing supplies and valuables despite the Mather’s attempts to conceal the property. If the time has come to move from your secluded Connecticut home, don’t hesitate to call Seamen’s Moving. We’ll help you get where you need to go!

Just like Seamen’s works to efficiently utilize our vehicles, Charlton initially forayed into comics as a way to keep their printing presses running when they weren’t printing rock and roll magazines.

How Transportation Shaped Greenwich

greenwich 5-10

Transportation has been integral to the growth of Connecticut, whether by train, plane, or moving truck. In Greenwich, the railroad constructed there in 1848 brought with it an influx of vacationers and immigrants alike. By the 20th century, the trolley from Rye to Stamford brought together CT and NY. The Merritt Parkway in 1938 as well as the I-95 in 1957 are still in use today, and brought with them many Greenwich residents who would live in the suburban area while working in New York City. Whether you’re moving into, out of, or nearby Greenwich, Seamen’s will help transport your belongings there.
