The Nathan Hale memorial fountain at Fodor Farm. (Harold F. Cobin) NORWALK, Conn. – Lisa Wilson Grant’s years of dedication came to fruition Sunday with the rededication of the Nathan Hale monument at Fodor Farm. The monument honoring the American Revolutionary War hero, who was hanged by the British in 1776, was erected in 1901 on West Avenue, along the trail Hale took on his spy mission during the American Revolution, as a drinking fountain for horses, people, and dogs, by the Norwalk chapter of the Daughters of American Revolution (DAR), It was taken apart in the 1920s and its pieces went to different places, Norwalk Historic Commission Chairwoman Dana Laird said Sunday. When Grant became involved, the 31,000-pound granite trough was in Wilton. Another part, the stele, was at Nathan Hale Middle School.
