About Connecticut Town Historical Signs

During the 1970s and 1980s, the Connecticut Historical Society ( www.chs.org/ ) placed signs in all of Connecticut's 169 municipalities to help tell the unique stories of the history of each municipality in the Constitution State. These signs were generally placed at town halls, town greens, town squares and other places of historical significance in each town. Generally, these signs have historical information on each side of the sign. While all signs may not be in place today, many are still around. The purpose of the Connecticut Town Historical Signs project is to take a unique look at the towns of the State of Connecticut through the gateway of these historical signs, which can be commonly found at town squares and parks or in front of municipally owned buildings (such as libraries). Your help is enthusiastically encouraged. Photos, links, corrections, and anecdotes are all accepted. Photos should focus on the sign and if possible the surroundings. Extreme close-ups are not necessary; however, the context should be readable. Thank you for your enjoyment and continued support!
