'Turnback Tuesday' features historic Derby Green
Turnback Tuesday takes a look at the Derby Green, located between Elizabeth, Minerva, 5th and what used to be 4th Streets.
This public square became a gathering place, and according to the City of Derby website was designated as a Public Green in April,1845.
There are 3 churches surrounding the Green (Immanuel St. James, Derby Methodist and 2nd Congregational) plus there is a beautiful, oft-used Gazebo located at the south end.
The Green also houses monuments dedicated to the many who served in past wars and for the attack on 9/11/2001.
There are two time capsules buried on the upper part of the Green: one buried in 1975 during the Derby Tercentenary to be opened in 2025, and one for Ed Strang Day in honor of the 100th Anniversary of Boy Scout Troop 3, to be opened in 2064.
The "Birmingham Green Historic District" (or Derby Green) was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
