Plymouth Congregational Church (New Haven, Connecticut)

Plymouth Congregational Church, also known as Plymouth Church or Temple Keser Israel, is a former late-nineteenth-century Congregational Church at 1469 Chapel Street in New Haven, Connecticut. The church, a fine example of Romanesque Revival architecture, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The church is a notable example of an adaptive reuse, having been converted into a synagogue and medical office building. Description and history The former Plymouth Congregational Church is located northwest of the New Haven Green in New Haven's Dwight neighborhood, at the northeast corner of Chapel and Sherman Streets. It is a large masonry structure, built out of brownstone with Romanesque Revival styling. The facade facing Church Street is historically its principal facade, with a gable flanked by square towers. The left tower is the taller of the two, with a turreted belfry level topped by a polygonal roof. Original main entrances are set in recesses at the base of this tower. The congregation for which the church was built was founded in 1831 as the Missionary Church, and met in rented spaces until 1848, when its first edifice was built in College Street. The congregation acquired the present lot in 1884, and built in the early 1900s. It was formally renamed the Plymouth Congregational Church at this building's dedication in 1901. The congregation peaked in size in 1929, and declined after World War II. The building was sold to the Temple Kezar Jewish congregation in 1949, and the congregation was eventually merged into the Center Church on the Green. The building was converted for use as a Jewish synagogue, a role it fulfilled until 1968, when Temple Kezar merged with Temple Beth El and moved into a new building. The building was abandoned and vacant for several years, inviting extensive vandalism and water damage. An initial attempt to convert the abandoned building into medical offices with the insertion of three floors and the complete destruction of any extant internal features was denied by the regional National Park Service office since the alterations would "… leave no area for perception of even part of the original. grand, open plan." Upon appeal, however, and a review of the damage already afflicted, the reuse was approved since the damage was seen to be beyond repair and the interior was gutted.

Holy Apostles College and Seminary

Holy Apostles College and Seminary is a Catholic seminary in Cromwell, Connecticut, United States. History Holy Apostles was founded in 1956 on a 40-acre (160,000 m2) property in Cromwell, Connecticut, by Franciscan priest Eusèbe M. Ménard to provide a program of education and formation for men intending to enter the Catholic priesthood. It began as a college level, preparatory seminary, which Ménard entrusted to the Missionaries of the Holy Apostles. In 1972, Holy Apostles, in view of declining enrollment, began admitting non-seminarians, women included. In 1977, it added a Master of Divinity program and became a major as well as a minor seminary. Graduate degrees have been available to lay students since 1982. In 1998, Holy Apostles partnered with International Catholic University, founded by Ralph McInerny, and opened two online graduate programs, a Master of Arts in Theology and a Master of Arts in Philosophy. In 2011, Holy Apostles established a Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies program, which became available online in 2013. In 2012, recognizing the growing need for online undergraduate programs, Holy Apostles added undergraduate-level courses to its online programming. In 2014, the State of Connecticut Office of Higher Education approved the college for a 100% online undergraduate program (both in the Associate of Arts and the Bachelor of Arts degree programs). In 2019, Peter S. Kucer became president/rector of the college taking over from the long-serving Douglas Mosey (1996–2019). Academics Holy Apostles is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education and the Connecticut Office of Higher Education. Additionally, Holy Apostles' graduate degree programs are accredited by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.

Ram Island (Connecticut)

Ram Island is a small 20-acre (81,000 m2) island off the coast of Mystic, Connecticut. It is located in the Town of Stonington, approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) offshore, between Mystic and Fishers Island. Once called Mystic Island, it was formerly the site of an exclusive Victorian era hotel resort at which steamships from Boston and New York City stopped twice a day. At the height of its popularity, the hotel played host to a world lightweight bare-knuckle boxing championship. By the 1920s, the hotel had fallen into disrepair and was destroyed in the New England Hurricane of 1938. A motel was later built that catered to transient boaters. The island has served as a seasonal private residence and farm since 1978. However, fires in February 2013 and March 2014 destroyed the barn and home. See also The village of Noank, Connecticut is the nearest inhabited land, and also home to the namesake Ram Island Yacht Club. Mason's Island, Enders Island, North Dumpling Island, and Fishers Island, New York are nearby inhabited islands.

Pomeroy State Park

Pomeroy State Park ist ein nicht markierter State Park ohne Einrichtungen im US-Bundesstaat Connecticut auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Lebanon. Der Park wurde etwa 1955 auf dem Anwesen von Charles Pomeroy eingerichtet. Heute umfasst der Park 200 acres (81 ha); er hat keinen öffentlichen Zugang. Geographie Der Park liegt an der Mountain Street (Connecticut Route 289), südlich der Gemeindegrenze von Willimantic und südlich des Hosmer Mountain. Die Straße verläuft über einen Bergsattel, der den Jordan Brook, der nach Osten zum Shetucket River entwässert, von den Quellbächen des Tenmile River trennt. Höchste Erhebung ist der Bush Hill mit 500 ft (152 m) über dem Meer. Geschichte Pomeroy State Park wurde nach Charles Pomeroy, einem Textilfabrikanten, benannt. Der Park schützt ein Waldgebiet, das an geschütztes Farmland angrenzt. Die Natur im Park wurde durch keinerlei Baumaßnahmen gestört. 90 acres des Gebietes gehörten früher zum Anwesen von Pomeroy. Etwa 1955 wurde der Park erstmals mit 99 acres im Connecticut State Register and Manual aufgelistet. 1963 vergrößerte sich der Park auf 104 acres. Freizeitmöglichkeiten Der Park hat keine Einrichtungen, bietet aber Möglichkeiten zum Wandern und Jagen.

Pomeroy State Park

Pomeroy State Park is an undeveloped public recreation area covering 200 acres (81 ha) just south of Willimantic in the town of Lebanon, Connecticut, managed by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. The state park is a forested area used for hiking and hunting with no formal entrance, markings, or parking that abuts preserved farmland. History The park was established on the former 90-acre estate of textile manufacturer Charles Pomeroy for whom it is named. The park entered the rolls of the Connecticut State Register and Manual in 1953, when it was listed at 84 acres, that figure expanding to 104 acres ten years later. The state added 91 acres through two separate purchases in 2001 and another 2.3 acres in 2007. Terrain The park preserves a forested area without formal entrance that shares a boundary with preserved farmland. The park is divided by Connecticut Route 289. The park includes the summit of 505-foot (154 m) Bush Hill, south of Hosmer Mountain (492 feet (150 m)). A 2005 property designation map from the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection uses a portion of the Willimantic quadrangle map to show the hilly terrain on the northeast portion of the park and the top of Bush Hill to the northwest. The southern limits of the park are also hilly with a steeper elevation change at the edge of the southwest boundary. Activities Hikers can ascend to the top of Bush Hill. In the fall, the park is open to archers hunting deer and turkey. The park can be accessed by parking along the side of Route 289 (Beaumont Highway).

Pope Park (Hartford, Connecticut)

Pope Park is a public park in Hartford, Connecticut. Description and history Land for the park was donated to the city in 1895 by Colonel Albert Augustus Pope for use by his employees and city residents. Pope was the founder of Pope Manufacturing Company, which built automobiles and bicycles, including the Columbia bicycle. The park was landscaped by the Olmsted Brothers design firm starting in 1898. The Olmsted Brothers completed the park in 1903, which was the year of Frederick Law Olmsted's death; his son and nephew completed the work. Originally the park's western boundary was defined by the Park River, which was straightened and diverted underground beneath the park in the 1940s. The park consisted of 90.5 acres (36.6 ha) laid out in three sections: Hollowmead, the park's southern section, was the largest, consisting of 73 acres. Bankside Grove, north of Park Street, consisted 13 acres laid out along the Park River. The smallest section was 4 acres, separated from Bankside Grove by Park Terrace. The Olmsteds conceived Pope Park as part of a system of seven parks to be built as a ring around the perimeter of Hartford. Other parks in this system included Goodwin Park, Keney Park, Riverside Park, and Colt Park. Interstate 84 was built through Pope Park in 1969, cutting off Pope Park West from the Lower Mead. In 2002, a new Master Plan was commissioned by the Friends of Pope Park; most of this work was completed by 2009. Pope Park Drive, which had bisected the Hollowmead, was removed, and paths were resurfaced and redesigned. In 2016, Pope Park was to undergo a major cleanup to remove litter, waste and overgrown vegetation. References
Prospect Green Historic District

Prospect Green Historic District is a historic district in the New England town of Prospect, Connecticut. The district is centered on the Prospect Green, the town green. The green is located on the highest settled point in New Haven County. The green is bounded by Route 68 and Center and Church Streets. The main feature of the green is a Civil War Soldiers Monument (1907) situated near the center. Near it is a flag pole and another memorial. At the north end of the green is the former town library built in 1903-1904. Several historic buildings surround the green including, the current Congregational Church (built in 1941 and the fourth church on the site), the Grange Hall (1947), the Parsonage (1941), a 19th-century residence once used as a parsonage, and a school house (c. 1865, now used by the local historical society). The town of Prospect was settled in the 18th century and separately incorporated in 1827. Its town center arose in 1778, when the site, the highest in town, was selected for construction of a church. The town green was also laid out at that time, but remained in church ownership until 1905, when it was sold to the town. In the 19th century it developed as the civic heart of the town, with a Greek Revival school house built in 1867, and its first dedicated town library building (now the Meeting Place) built in 1905 as a gift of the Tuttle family. The library now occupies modern premises south of the church. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in New Haven County, Connecticut References

Enfield Public Schools

Enfield Public Schools is a school district located in Hartford County, in Enfield, Connecticut. The district's boundaries are coterminous with those of the town. Approximately 5,000 students, grades Pre K–12, attend the Enfield Public Schools. The town's schools are organized into three Pre-K through 2nd grade primary schools coupled through a sister-school concept with three 3rd through 5th grade intermediate schools, one sixth grade through eighth grade middle school, and one ninth grade through twelfth grade high school. List of Enfield Public Schools High School (grades 9-12) Enfield High School Middle School (grades 6-8) John F. Kennedy Middle School Intermediate Schools (grades 3-5) Edgar H. Parkman School Eli Whitney School Prudence Crandall School Primary Schools (grades Pre K-2) Enfield Street School Hazardville Memorial School Henry Barnard School The town operates one high school (9–12), one middle school (6–8), three intermediate schools (3–5), and three primary elementary schools (Pre K-2). In 2010, due to enrollment decreases, Enfield Public Schools closed two elementary schools: Harriet Beecher Stowe School and Thomas G. Alcorn School (previously the town's high school prior to the 1960s). Nathan Hale School, once a primary school, closed in 2017. Compliance to Connecticut's racial imbalance laws led to redistricting and reorganization of the town's elementary schools into primary and intermediate schools, away from the former "neighborhood school" organization. Subsequently, due to further declining enrollment, Enfield's two high schools, Enfield High School and Enrico Fermi High School consolidated in 2016 after a significant expansion and "as new" renovation of the Enfield High School site. Other Public Schools Head Start CREC Public Safety Academy Stowe Early Learning Center Community College Asnuntuck Community College Until the early 1980s, Enfield John F. Kennedy and its crosstown rival, Kosciuscko Junior High School (a school named for a hero of the American Revolution), operated as the town's two middle schools .It closed down as the demographics of the town changed and two distinct junior highs became clearly unnecessary. The facility of Kosciuscko Junior High School is now used as Enfield's Asnuntuck Community College. References External links Official website
