Description: Granite stone marker erected by the Norwalk Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution in 1895. It marked an area where the earliest settlement in Norwalk once stood. Now located near the driveway to the East Norwalk train station, it was apparently once located across, or on the east side of 'Towne Street' (Now East Avenue) and the 'Ancient Country Road from Stamford to Fairfield' (Now Fitch Street). It indicated the location of the first meeting house of Norwalk which was located where 212 East Avenue is today. Inscribed on the monument: "Norwalk Founded A.D. 1649. Its earliest homes were planted in the near vicinity of this stone. First Meeting House erected opposite, West. Monument erected by the Norwalk Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. 1895”
