Welcome to The Sasquanaug Conservancy for Southport!
We're proud to announce that we've recently joined forces, combining The Sasquanaug Association and The Southport Conservancy under one roof.
Bringing together the energy and passion of our two groups will double down our advocacy on historic preservation, beautification, and environmental stewardship to help keep Southport extraordinary for generations to come. We're poised and prepared to launch a new chapter dedicated to serving our community through our mission:
- Preserving the historic charm and beauty of Southport
- Promoting civic engagement and responsible development
- Supporting community services and local stewardship
Thank you to our members whose vote of support made this milestone happen!

“Charm... bucolic environment... open spaces... narrow, irregular streets... bluestone sidewalks... While part of the Town on Fairfield, Southport has a distinct identity of its own derived primarily from the genius of the harbor and its nineteenth century environment which has been preserved to an unusual degree in this century of change. ”
