Conn. home built by a Revolutionary War soldier asks $5.49M
A historic Federal-style home, built by an American Revolutionary War soldier, is on the market for $5.49 million. It's at 142 Main St. in a part of Fairfield, Conn. called Southport. The tony area has been a low-key favorite for privacy-loving public figures including Marlo Thomas and her late husband Phil Donahue; the late executive Jack Welch; and Daytime Emmy Award-winning soap star Jensen Ackles, brokers said.

Killington will not host World Cup in 2025 due to chairlift installation, aims to hold event again in 2026
Colorado's Copper Mountain was announced as a replacement venue for Killington in 2025, though the New England resort hopes to reclaim its signature racing event in 2026. 'Because of the new Superstar lift replacement this summer into early winter, the Audi FIS Ski World Cup will take place at Copper Mountain, Colorado over Thanksgiving weekend 2025,' Killington said in its announcement. 'The race is expected to return to Killington Thanksgiving Weekend 2026.' Advertisement The event has become regionally popular, regularly drawing more than 30,000 fans over the two days of racing (with the best women's racers in the world competing in both giant slalom and slalom). Shiffrin, a former student at Vermont's Burke Mountain Academy, has always been a popular draw. The 29-year-old, who is the all-time leader in career World Cup wins with 99, has won six of the eight slalom competitions hosted at Killington over the years. In 2024, she was only a few gates away from potentially winning the giant slalom competition for the first time at Killington — and what would've been her 100th career World Cup victory — but While Killington is confident the race will return to Vermont — given its popularity both with fans and athletes — it has not yet been officially agreed to by FIS, the organization that governs the World Cup circuit. Advertisement 'Killington, US Ski Team and FIS want to host the event at Killington in 2026,' a resort representative explained, 'however formal agreement for that to happen has not been signed yet, which is why we communicated its expected return.' Beyond the implications for the Killington Cup, the Superstar chairlift replacement will also affect the current ski season. Killington is known for annually hosting the region's longest ski season. This year, the expected closure of the Superstar quad will be on April 13, well before the usual ending point, which occasionally stretches 'While we know spring skiing and riding will look a little different this year, this $12 million investment will elevate the guest experience for decades to come,' said Mike Solimano, president and CEO of Killington Resort, in the announcement. 'That said, we're still committed to hosting the longest ski season in the East and will stay open as long as Mother Nature allows.' Other lifts, including the Snowdon triple, the Canyon quad, and the North Ridge triple, will remain open 'as long as conditions allow.' The K-1 Gondola is scheduled to keep running until May 11.
