To add a bit to what Kidyankee784 said, Westport is the home to a number of celebrities. Living there are Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Michael Bolton, Marlo Thomas, Phil Donahue. There are others as well. Westport has a wonderful downtown area and some of the regions best restaurants. For entertainment there is the world renowned Westport Country Playhouse which Joanne Woodward is currently serving as Director of. The schools are excellent (amoung the best in the state) and there is a lot of family activities.
Weston is located just north of Westport and many residents there go to Westport for things (shopping, restaurants, entertainment, etc.). It is a very pretty rural town (large lots) where much of the land is set aside as watershed for the reservoirs. The schools are also excellent and there are some family related activities.
Wilton is also very nice and very family oriented. Many people in town will go over to neighboring New York to catch trains into the city because the Danbury line trains are somewhat limited and take longer.
All of these are great towns. They are considered to be among the most desireable in the country. It is just a matter of determining which one would best suit your family. Good luck, Jay
