Pastor Cheryl Anderson is the reason we attend holiday services at this church. She's wonderful, worldly, and brilliant.

This is a very inconveniently positioned marker. At first I thought it must be on the New Milford…read moreGreen, which isn't great for parking but usually you can find a spot within a reasonable walking distance. Ah, no! This sign is off the Green, in front of what I believe may be the historical society, uphill, resting on a grassy knoll. There is side street parking, if you can grab a spot. (Full disclosure - as a traumatized driving student who learned to drive on stick, I still don't care for parking on hills so I have a bias) But alas, the spots were all full. It looks like there may be a road or parking lot in the back, but after driving around twice I'm no closer to finding it. I settled for admiring the sign from the road before driving away for approaching cars. For anyone who knows the area and wants to know why I didn't park on the Green - between the Green and the sign is the intersection from Hades. Usually the turn taking at a four way intersection is an automatic cultural thing, but people kept on driving like there were no other cars but theirs. A thought for New Milford city planning - THERE is a spot for a rotary, the drivers coming from 202 are already treating it like one.

Want some New Milford history nuggets? Sure you do!…read more In 1703 some businessmen from Milford, CT bought this land from the Potatuck Indians, and cleverly named the land "New Milford". The first white inhabitant of the area was a gent named Zachariah Ferriss. I wonder if he was a big wheel? After the shootings at Lexington and Concord, a very impressive total of 285 men of New Milford enlisted in the Continental Army. A bridge over the nearby Housatonic River was built way back in 1737 This is a 2-sided marker from the CT Historical Commission in the familiar white lettering on a blue background. It's located on the sloping lawn of the New Milford Historical Society. The marker was dedicated in 1976. The front side is showing quite a bit of fading and streaking on the white lettering. The reverse side is in pretty good condition.
