Scarecrows of all sizes, shapes and descriptions are "in residence" along Main Street in Old Wethersfield.  Humble materials transform into creatures with charm and personality and add to the Fall fun.  Dozens of scarecrows will once again line Main Street in the business section of Old Wethersfield.  This popular annual event draws visitors to the Historic District to see the many unusual and ingenious scarecrows built by children, families, adults, businesses and organizations.

In May 1781, at the Webb House on Main Street, George Washington and Rochambeau planned the battle of Yorktown, which culminated in the independence of the colonies.
