Coe Memorial Park

Today, Coe Memorial Park, located just south of the Naugatuck River, functions as the town green.

Percival Gallagher of the Olmsted Brothers firm in Boston had been retained by the town selectmen to prepare drawings for the Park in 1907.

The selected boulder weighed 15 tons and was moved through the center of town to the Park on the logging wagon pulled by twenty horses.

The Civil War monument was originally erected in front of Town Hall in 1879 and was moved to Coe Memorial Park in 1936.

Phase I of the Coe Memorial Park Master Plan for the historic restoration was completed in 2005, re-sculpting the walkways and installing the gardens.

Phase III will address the restoration of the Carriage House which is the sole remnant of Alice Alvord's home and property.
