—Since the New Haven Green Historic District, it was designated a National Historic Landmark District on December 30, 1970.
—There’s a crypt at the center church in the Green.
—When the Green was first known as the Green, it held a watch house, a prison and a school.
—And the Puritans were said to have designed the green large enough to hold the number of people who they believed would be spared in the “Second Coming of Christ”.
—In the Green there is to be a mythical legend about a Bennett Memorial Fountain, the fountain has fresh water coming out of two lions heads from opposite sides. It is said if you drink from the fountain you would never leave New Haven. Not sure who came up with that; that’s why it’s a myth.
