Non-Profit Municipal Organization

Rising Starr Horse Rescue saves, rehabilitates, retrains and re-homes abandoned, neglected or abused horses and educates the community about at-risk horses and the importance of protecting them.

The VFW has been a Westport institution since 1920. Named for a World War I veteran, it occupied a couple of different sites in Saugatuck. It moved to its present Riverside Avenue location — at the junction of Saugatuck Avenue, across from Treadwell — in 1973.

The property was donated to the chapter, which is part of the national Veterans of Foreign Wars organization.
