Don’t move that rock! Stamford urged to buy ancient site
In Stamford Connecticut supporters urge the city to purchase Rimmon Rock a 45 foot granite glacial erratic on 1.8 acres to protect it as a historic landmark. Local groups led by the Northern Westover Road Association push for preservation citing ancient Indian occupation artifacts and the risk of destruction from development. Mayor Clapes will seek city funds if residents back the plan.
