Uncovering Silent Guardians: Four Civil War Monuments in Southington,

Nestled in the heart of Southington, Connecticut, you'll find a green dotted with four monuments – a Civil War one, a World War I, World War II-Korea-Vietnam, and a granite fountain honoring Amon Bradley. This Southington Center Historic District, enlisted in the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, offers a peaceful retreat adorned with colonial-era buildings and timeless allure. Wander through the vibrant red brick and impressive spires, and discover quaint shops and houses dating back to the 1700s.

The town's oldest building, Jonathan Root's house, although not part of the district, serves as both a residence and a tavern. The Cyrus C. Chamberlain House, a Federal-style pearl erected in 1823, is a striking jewel gracing this district. And let's not forget the churches – four of them make up Olde Towne's beacon, with the Congregational Church at 37 Main Street standing tall with its Federal-inspired designs and lofty steeple. What sets this district apart? A rich history – the European settlers first arrived in 1698, and the town officially formed in 1779.
