Historic Norwichtown Days on the Green

NORWICHTOWN

The colonial section of the city is known as Norwichtown. It encompasses a large Green which is surrounded by exquisite examples from this period including a church, schoolhouse, and several taverns.

OLDE BURIAL GROUNDS

A unique look at Norwich's past can be explored through our Olde Burial Grounds brochure. The pamphlet describes the varied carving styles of early tombstones, burial customs, and the lives and deaths of some of Norwich's early American settlers.

WASHINGTON STREET & BROADWAY

Two brochures take visitors along the main roads of Norwich's center detailing the beautiful homes which line the streets. These roads represent the move from the older section of Norwich to its current heart - the Chelsea harbor area. 

Commemorative posters are also available of Norwich's wonderful architecture. Our building tradition represents our past, present, and future. Come share in our beauty.
