Folks who have devoted web pages to the
Connecticut Monument

National Park Digital Library and Research Station

In July of 2008, Dennis McCarthy, an architect from the National Park Service, was able to see the in-process memorial while vacationing here in our lovely Connecticut. Upon his return, he posted the above link as a record of the techniques used in the fabrication of the monument.

In the search box, you must type "Connecticut Memorial" and then follow the link to view the archives.

What's really fun about this is that it is the first federal place where both Stacy and I are publicly credited for our work on this monument. We've been recognized in our local newspapers, but seeing it in the NPS/governmental archives added a new level of excitement as the project nears it's completion...

Fort Nathan Hale and Black Rock Fort

"Fort Nathan Hale and Black Rock Fort are located in New Haven, CT. These facilities played roles in the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and the Civil War. This web site is dedicated to those heroes that served during those and subsequent conflicts, the many volunteers who have worked diligently to restore, maintain and manage the site and its activities, reenactors who bring history to life and the many visitors and supporters of this historic landmark."--copied directly from the website description
