Abstract
Correspondence, receipts, and other documents concerning musical activities at the United Church on the Green of New Haven, Connecticut between 1794 and 1910
Biographical / Historical
The United Church of New Haven, Connecticut traces its origins back to 1742, when the "New Lights" (supporters of the Great Awakening) separated from the existing Congregational church in New Haven. The current building was constructed in 1816. Formerly called North Church, it is now known as the United Church on the Green; it is the northernmost of the three churches built in a row on the New Haven Green.
