The Norwnlk Hotel, in Norwalk.

certainly been the most popular one
for it was there that sieigning paitles

there was snow on the ground most

hotel. Big suppers were given. and all

It was simply called a tavern. it was
the place where farmers trhm all over

This hotel was also familiarly known
as the old stage house. There were
no railrolds when‘it was built. Peo-

and New York. and that is the way the

gers stopped for dinner. and some-
times remained over night. it was
there that President. Andrew Jackson.
when he was president in law. while
on his way (mm Boston to New York.
stopped for dinner.
Some oi the old residents remember
well how the whole population turned
out to see the executive head of the
nation They crowded him. and bo-
tore they would let him go he had to
deliver a speech. Sonic oi the old men
in the town were more boys their. but
they remember the incident as though
it were yesterday. He talked very inter
estingiy to the boys and girls. as they
assembled around him. He told them
to be true. honest and upright men
and women. Some of the men whom a
Sentinel reporter saw yesterday alter
noon. never forgot the lesson taught
them b2 Mr. Jackson. They looked on
him as he came into the little town.
for it was only a very Siiliill place the").
as some superior being. Somehow it
got poised short that Jackson was at
the tavern. Farmers irom all over the
country dock-«l to the place. They went

arrived to find that the president had
departed. There.» were several who
had ridden twenty miles: to see Jack-
son. and did not get a glimpse of him.
There was no South Notwitlk at that
time. and in fact there was wry little

only three or {our houses in South
Norwalk, and it was not until the rail-
road was built. that the southern part
