that does more to embody Connecticut's strong self sense of history
and civic pride than any other feature of the landscape.
To
begin your tour of Connecticut's town greens, visit the
GreenLink section of the site. You may also learn about the
wonderful history of some of Connecticut's town greens in the
online Exhibits, or browse through a wealth of technical information in
