Paul Newman was one of the most celebrated and respected actors of the 20th century. While he was well-known for classics such as The Hustler (1961) or Cool Hand Luke (1967), Newman also carried a legacy of as a businessman & philanthropist. Newman moved to Westport in 1950 where he took acting classes at The Yale School of Drama. Newman fell in love with Connecticut and decided to reside in Westport. Over the next few decades, Newman became an active supporter of the community and Westport Country Playhouse. In 1982, Newman ventured into the business route with Newman’s Own, which was a niche food product line at the time. Today, Newman’s Own is available at any supermarket, and donates all after-tax profits to charity (over $460 million since 1982). In late 2008, Paul Newman passed away, but his legacy still lives among Westport residents. If the time has come to make your move to or from Westport, call Seamen’s Moving today! read more

First established in Repton, Connecticut, in 1740, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church brought together Anglican services in the area. The Repton area would later become Ripton, and later Huntington as it is known today. But in 1811, townsman Sidney Deforest attempted to rid the church’s belfry of pigeons by shooting them with his musket. While Sidney did manage to remove the pigeons, he also burned down the church with the tow wadding from his musket in the process. A few years later, the church was built atop the same site and still stands today (pigeon-free). If you need to move out of your pigeon-infested home, don’t pull out your musket. Call Seamen’s Moving today to schedule your free onsite estimate. Our trucks are 100% pigeon free. read more

The city of Danbury is home to the second largest mall in Connecticut; The Danbury Fair Mall.  The mall was once home to the Danbury Fair (1821-1981). The fair was an annual event in the city of Danbury, which ended in 1981 due to the death of one of the founders. The family didn’t want to continue the tradition, and last event was held in October of 1981. Shortly after, a mall was constructed at the old location of the fair. The mall would open doors in 1986, and houses a carousel in its food court. Today the mall has over 200 retail stores and four anchor stores. Seamen’s Moving is not only familiar with the historic mall, but familiar with the city of Danbury. Call us today to schedule your free onsite estimate! read more
