When his battalion was riddled by enemy fire, he tended to his commander's wounds, grabbed the radio from the dead radio operator, moved through enemy fire, organized the remnants of the battalion and safely evacuated them to safety. Both men were from Cheshire. Both men were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor -our nation's "highest award for valor in action." In 1998, their hometown honored their patriotism with the dedication of a Medal of Honor Plaza and educational Living Classroom at the entrance to Bartlem Park, more or less across the street from Cheshire High School. The plaza has a 50 feet wide star on the ground constructed from bricks. The bricks have the names of hundreds of Cheshire veterans inscribed on them. The middle of the plaza has a black granite monument that looks like a podium or a lectern. It bears the names and ranks of Woodbury and Barnum. Stone benches are also set in the plaza, bearing their names as well. The Living Classroom is an interesting idea- there are five trees planted at the corners of the plaza star that have ties to historic places or events, like Gettysburg, Washington's Delaware crossing, and Connecticut's Constitution Oak. The lectern is inscribed on its sides with these words: The American Revolution War of 1812 Spanish-American War World War I World War II Korean War Gulf War Remembering The Many Sacrifices That Preserved Our Freedom Residents of Cheshire Heroes of the United States Medal of Honor Recipient 1st Lieutanant Harvey C.

On November 23, 1855, he and his partner tried to break up a fight on Morocco Street. Before they made an arrest, both officers were badly beaten and Cummins passed away from his injuries the next day. So Cummins became the first New Haven Police Officer to die in the line of duty. He also became the first of 137 names memorialized on this extremely powerful monument honoring the Connecticut law enforcement officers across the decades of time that have fallen while protecting and defending the citizens of the Nutmeg State. Plans for the monument go back to 1985 when the Connecticut Police Chief's Association appointed a committee to establish a permanent memorial to honor the local, state and federal officers who paid the ultimate price. This striking granite memorial was dedicated in 1989 and stands on the grounds of the Connecticut Police Academy in Meriden. It's an open walled gray granite square with 12 perimeter columns and a center black obelisk engraved with "Dedicated to those who have made the supreme sacrifice". There are engraved names, locations, and dates on the obelisk and the perimeter columns. An eternal flame on a black base is engraved with two words in gold - "Never Forget". The memorial site also includes two granite benches and two flagpoles flying the American flag, POW flag, and CT flag.

You make an appointment on line so everyone shows up during a particular time frame, everyone at this location is very friendly, considering they are dealing with scared and intimidated kids.

The kids walk out of the testing room across the hall from parents waiting area teary eyed or with a big smile! Great place! We will definitely return here with the last one in 5 years.
