Broad Street Green Map: This project, completed in 2001, was inspired by one of the WVIA's long-time members, W. Thayer Chase. A distinguished landscape architect, Chase designed the landscaping of the award-winning Merritt Parkway in Connecticut. For many years, Chase advocated that a map of Wethersfield's "Broad Street Green" be developed which would educate visitors and residents about the Green's value and beauty.

The preservation, enhancement and appreciation of the Green is a major WVIA objective. Highlighted on resultant map are the Green's trees (many varieties are identified), houses (examples of over 300 years of American architecture are featured), and the Green's history (from pre-Revolutionary times to the present). This project was funded by the WVIA and by generous private contributions from: Donna and Paul Courchaine, Lisa and William Leonard, and the Wethersfield Beautification Trust.
