Introducing Ezra the Rooster. Follow our "Ezra Around Town" posts on Facebook or Instagram. Ezra the Rooster, named for our first unofficial Town Historian, Ezra Johnson, will be starting his travels around Newtown in January.  He'll be visiting locations with a historical significance, but some of the lesser known locations to most Newtowners.
