The Fairfield Museum and History Center has dedicated a white oak tree to the city and buried a time capsule containing a copy of the Town Charter, a newspaper, a letter from First Selectperson Christine Vitale, patches from the Fairfield police and fire departments, items from Sacred Heart and Fairfield universities, and other keepsakes. The tree references the species associated with Connecticut's historic Charter Oak, which was hidden in a tree when England attempted to revoke Connecticut's Charter. The ceremony was held at the Fairford Museum and Historical Center and was attended by town officials and residents.
