Mansfield Center Cemetery

Mansfield Center Cemetery is a small cemetery in the Mansfield Center section of Mansfield, Connecticut. Established in 1693, it is one of the few surviving elements of Mansfield's early colonial settlement history. It also has a distinguished array of funerary markers carved by acknowledged master's across eastern Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. Description and history Mansfield Center Cemetery is located south of the modern center of Mansfield, at the southeast corner of Storrs and Cemetery Roads. It is a roughly rectangular area 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) in size, ringed by a fieldstone wall. A line of trees separates the cemetery from Storrs Road, and there is a gate with stone posts providing entrance to the ground. The cemetery grounds are densely filled with burial sites, with the burials uniformly oriented with the head to the east, and headstones with the carved face to the west. Many 18th and 19th century markers carved of a variety of materials featuring elaborate designs dot the grounds. The oldest dated marker is for Exercise Conant, who died in 1722. Mansfield was settled as part of Windham in 1690 and was separately incorporated in 1704. The site was set aside for use as a cemetery as early as 1693 and it remained in general use for that purpose until the 1870s. The cemetery's 18th-century gravestones, decorated with cherubim, geometric designs, and a variety of funerary symbols, are considered to be illustrative of the rich artistic tradition of funerary stone carving in colonial New England. More than 180 stones have been attributed to identifiable stone carvers, including such 18th-century masters of the craft as John Hartshorne, Obadiah Wheeler, Benjamin Collins and his son Zerubbabel, Gershom Bartlett, John Huntington, the Manning Family, Jonathan Loomis, Aaron Haskins, Stephen Spaulding, Elijah Sikes, and John Walden. Two primitive carvings exist by local carver James Hovey. 19th century carvers represented include the Upswept Wing Carver, Caleb Huntington, Thomas Welch, the Warrenville Carver, and Orivlle Griswold.

Marietta Canty House

The Marietta Canty House is a historic house at 61 Mahl Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Built about 1897, this Queen Anne style house is notable as the home of singer and African American activist Marietta Canty (1905–1986). It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Description and history The Marietta Canty House stands in a residential area in Hartford's Clay-Arsenal neighborhood, north of the downtown. It is on the south side of Mahl Avenue, just east of its junction with Bethel Avenue. It is one of a row of similar vernacular Queen Anne two-family houses built by developer Frederick Mahl between 1893 and 1897. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and exterior clad in vinyl siding. It is two bays wide, with a formerly two-story (now single-story) porch sheltering the entrance on the right bay. Although the building is not architecturally distinguished, its interior retains original finishes and materials, including staircases, trim, gas lighting fixtures, and fireplaces. The house was purchased in 1930 by Mary and Henry Canty. Henry Canty, who worked as a janitor for the city, was a prominent member of Hartford's African American community, a devout Christian attending Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, and an active canvasser for the Republican Party. He was also a prominent community activist, helping to organize community clubs for African Americans when the local YMCA would not admit them, and helping to run Camp Bennett, a summer camp for urban youth in Glastonbury. Canty's daughter Marietta appeared on stage on Broadway and elsewhere, and had more than 40 film roles, including parts in Rebel without a Cause, The Bad and the Beautiful and Lady in the Dark. Her typical film role was that of a domestic servant. She ended her acting career in 1951, and returned to Hartford, where she was active in community affairs and politics. She was twice a candidate for Hartford's city council. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

Marlborough Congregational Church

The Marlborough Congregational Church is a historic Congregational Church at 35 South Main Street in Marlborough, Connecticut. Built in 1842, it is a well-preserved example Greek Revival architecture. In addition hosting religious services, it also hosted town meetings for many years. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. Description and history The Marlborough Congregational Church stands near the southern fringe of the village center of Marlborough, at the junction of South Main Street and Johnson Road. Set on a rise facing north, it is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof. Its main facade has a recessed central area, in which a wide double door provides entrance to the building. This is set behind a pair of fluted Doric columns, and the recess is framed by pilasters at either end, as are the corners of the building. The pilasters and pillars support a simple entablature that extends along the sides of the building, above which is a fully pedimented gable pediment. A three-stage square tower rises above the entrance, the upper two stages with louvered centers and corner pilasters, with a shallow dome and weathervane at the top. The town of Marlborough was incorporated in 1803 from territory taken from surrounding towns. Its congregational society was established in 1747, with the construction of a meetinghouse. By the 1830s, that building was too small for the congregation, and the present building was constructed in 1842 with funds raised by subscription. Although Connecticut had formally required separation of church and civic functions in 1818, the church continued to be used for local town meetings into the 20th century, because it was the only building in the small community with large enough seating capacity. In addition to hosting religious services, the building has been the site of community meetings and social events.

Marsh Hall

Marsh Hall, historically known as the Othniel C. Marsh House, is a historic house on Prospect Hill in New Haven, Connecticut. The property, which includes the house and a 6.8 acres (2.8 ha) grounds now known as Marsh Botanical Garden, was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965. It was built in 1878 as the home of Othniel Marsh (1831–99), a leading 19th-century paleontologist, who occupied it until his death. The house is now owned by Yale University, and the building is occupied by the Yale School of the Environment. Description and history The house is a 3.5-story brownstone structure, built of red sandstone, overlooking an expanse of landscaped greenery. Its architecture is reminiscent of the Jacobean revival, with asymmetrical massing, and a variety of projections, turrets, and decorative elements. It was designed for Marsh by J. Cleaveland Cady, and construction of the exterior of the main house was largely complete in 1878; it took another three years to finish the interior. The house is one of a relatively small number of Cady designs surviving in the city, and was one of the grandest private residences in the city at the time of its construction. Othniel Marsh had an interest in fossils from an early age, and studied geology at Yale. Before and after graduating he went on numerous collecting trips throughout northeastern North America, and was appointed the first professor of paleontology. He engaged in repeated expeditions into the American West, sometimes returning with spectacular finds of dinosaurs and other large vertebrates. His finds of Cretaceous winged dinosaurs, complete with teeth and other non-avian features, provided compelling evidence in the debate over the recently published theory of evolution by natural selection. Marsh, a bachelor, bequeathed his estate to the university. Marsh Hall currently houses offices of the Yale School of the Environment (YSE), and is the home of The Forest School at YSE.

Massacoe Forest Pavilion

The Massacoe Forest Pavilion, also known as the Stratton Brook Park Pavilion, is a historic outdoor pavilion located in Stratton Brook State Park in Simsbury, Connecticut. It was built in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), and is a well-preserved example of the Corps' work. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Description and history Stratton Brook State Park is located in central Simsbury, on the south side of Farms Village Road (Connecticut Route 309).

The biennial competition awards include products and gift certificates from local businesses. The remains of Fortune In 1999, the museum received national attention for one item in its collection: a human skeleton. Later it was revealed that the skeleton was from an African enslaved man called Fortune who died in 1798. During the time of display, there was no information about the identity of the person; the skeleton was considered a teaching tool. It was believed to date from the late 18th century and was named Larry for name written on the skull. It was donated by the McGlannon family in the 1930s who had ancestral ties to the slave owner Dr. Preserved Porter. It was on display in a glass case until 1970, when it was removed from public viewing. An investigation in the late 1990s by the African-American History Project Committee identified the person. The museum created a special exhibit in honor of Fortune that detailed the lives of African-American slaves in Waterbury during the early part of the 19th century. Fortune was buried in Riverside Cemetery (Waterbury, Connecticut) on September 13, 2013. See also List of historical societies in Connecticut References External links Official website
