Senior Prize Winner!!!!! Let me introduce you to the Madhatterz, an awesome computer science team taught by Drs. Stan Kurkovsky and Chad Williams, who built a guided tour app for Connecticut Explored. The app features magazine articles turned into tours. It’s not quite ready for prime time, but the students built the map/article functions, linked it to Instagram so users could post photos of themselves on the tour, connected that to a leaderboard that shows points that helps users win CT Explored swag! It’s fabulous. Coming your way on ApplePlay and GooglePlay in December 2024! ... See MoreSee Less

Did you know Grove Street Cemetery in #NewHaven is the first planned cemetery in the country?

Our new Grating the Nutmeg Podcast - out today - is part of our celebration of May as #HistoricPreservationMonth. The design of Grove Street Cemetery in the 1790s pioneered several of the features that became standard like family plots and an established walkway grid. It is also one of the most beautiful places in Connecticut and is designated as a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service. It is on the Connecticut Freedom Trail.
Friends of the Grove Street Cemetery

Mary Donohue's guests are Michael Morand and Channing Harris. Michael Morand is Director of Community Engagement for Yale’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. He was just appointed the official City Historian of New Haven and currently chairs the Friends of the Grove Street Cemetery. Channing Harris serves on the Board of Directors of the New Haven Preservation Trust and on the Board of the Friends of Grove Street Cemetery.
