🎄The #NewHaven Christmas tree arrived on the New Haven Green today and it’s a beauty! 🎄
This 50’ Norwegian Spruce was donated by Kelly Drapeau & her family who decorated it every year in front of their house until it got too tall for them to put the lights on any longer. 1/
Now, thanks to the Drapeau family’s generosity, it will bring holiday cheer to the entire city this year!
Next up: putting on 30,000 lights for the city’s annual tree lighting festival on Thursday, November 30th from 5 to 7:30 pm. So, save the date, #NewHaven! 2/

Local History: https://t.co/0kZEPge0kR
New Haven Green, circa 1900. "Quality Row" on NE side of Lower Green is still intact. A few years later it would be bulldozed and replaced by large institutional buildings.
New Haven's Center Church on the Green is one of the best examples of a New England copy of James Gibbs' neoclassical masterpiece in London (and ironically was built during the War of 1812 when Connecticut was literally under assault by British forces)
