'...Generations yet to come deserve to have some small measure of the material culture that preceded them. We do not protect only the beautiful, or the economically valuable, or the fashionable in style. We protect the entirety of the historical life of our community through a representative group of buildings and structures located in the three historic districts or individually designated as historic properties.
The places under the jurisdiction of the Historic District Commission have been carefully selected since 1963 and range in age from the early colonial period to the 21st century. They include grand mansions, humble homes and everything in between. Some stand on large lots with significant gardens while others may have been built as farmsteads or ancillary buildings. All manner of materials, styles of construction and uses that have been a part of Fairfield’s history are included.'

Historic Preservation and the Historic District Commission

New Haven is rich in historic resources. These include a wide variety of historic residential neighborhoods and landmarks, both buildings and places. There are 17 National Register Historic Districts in the city and three Local Historic Districts. There are also 32 properties or sites on the National Register that are individually listed. In addition, approximately 4,000 properties have been identified in surveys conducted by the Connecticut Historical Commission as possibly being eligible for listing on the National Register.
The three Local Historic Districts are Wooster Square (est. 1970), Quinnipiac River (est. 1978) and City Point (est. 2001). These districts contain 178, 241 and 123 properties respectively. A distinct residential architecture and a unique environment characterize all three. Alterations to building exteriors in Local Historic Districts are subject to a high level of oversight through the issuance of Certificates of Appropriateness by the Historic District Commission. The Commission also plays a central role in the creation of new local districts.

The past surrounds you here in the southeastern corner of Connecticut.
History is the fabric upon which the present is being stitched – attracting visitors and providing the common inheritance of our residents. The New London County Historical Society got an early start in collecting and preserving some of the documents, objects, and treasures that tell the story of our community. Founded in 1870, it is the oldest historical organization in eastern Connecticut and one of the oldest in the country. The historic site that is our headquarters – the Shaw Mansion, built by Captain Nathaniel Shaw in 1756, and war office for Connecticut’s navy during the Revolution – was sold to us by the family in 1907, a very early example of historic preservation. We invite you to explore the past and learn about how we have become who we are...

The New London County Historical Society got an early start in collecting and preserving some of the documents, objects, and treasures that tell the story of our community. Founded in 1870, it is the oldest historical organization in eastern Connecticut and one of the oldest in the country. The historic site that is our headquarters – the Shaw Mansion, built by Captain Nathaniel Shaw in 1756, and war office for Connecticut’s navy during the Revolution – was sold to us by the family in 1907, a very early example of historic preservation. We invite you to explore the past and learn about how we have become who we are...
