Litchfield Green: Dominated by the spire of the white clapboard Congregational Meetinghouse, built in 1829 and rebuilt in 1929, and the 1888 Superior Court's stone clock tower, the Litchfield Green and its bordering storefronts create the quintessential image of small-town Connecticut life. The long, broad park punctuated with veteran's monuments and shaded by maple, oak, and ash trees, runs though the center of Litchfield--a perfect example of a Colonial Revival town.

The land that became Litchfield was purchased from the Tunxis Indians in 1719 as a frontier farming community. The common itself was land set aside for the main road and for the First Congregational meetinghouse's original building erected in 1723 on the East Park section of the green.
