HOW IT STARTED

Grassroots Action

NPT was founded on March 2, 2003 by Tod Bryant, Marija Bryant, Frank DeMilo, Lynn Friedman, Bill Kraus, and Gail Wall. One year later, we became a public charity with 501(c)(3) status, making your membership and donations tax-deductible. In 2016, we moved into our current offices at 328 Flax Hill Road, on the Fodor Farm Homestead. We are thrilled to support the upkeep of this unique reminder of Norwalk’s agricultural past.
