The Triangle

Cross to the Triangle (please use the crosswalk)

The Triangle is town land where there was once a house, store, and barn. The house was moved to the northwest corner of Gifford and Old County by Joseph Shorrock in the 1890s. In the middle of the triangle is the Powder House, built just after the War of 1812 to store powder and shot for the Home Guard. Originally on the East Landing, it was moved to its present location by the Westport Historical Society in the 1970s. The Powder House was restored in 2017 with the help of a Community Preservation grant.
