From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: 'Founders Common'


This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features a photo of the monument that marks the first Green in the City of Derby. 

"Founders Common," as that Green is known, is flanked by Academy Hill Road and Clark Avenue. 

The monument was erected by the Daughters of the American Founders and Patriots in 1904.

Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
