Micro-Histories - Ep. 6: Brewsterville 

Thanks! This is great - love looking at the old maps to see when my house came to date

awesome video

Love it Jason! What a fun fact! I know you’ve done Lighthouse before but I’d love to see more history on The Morris Cove area!

Don't forget the New Haven Pulp and Board company on East Street built in 1901 and later became Simkins Industries. They produced paperboard and folding cartons.

Good job, Jason! Very informative. Sadly, the demise of the railroad led the feds to build the highways that separated the city from the sea.

These micro histories are wonderful. But there are some themes that run throughout,,,,such as amazing entrepreneurship...which as has been stated make the New Haven of the 1800's the Silicon Valley of that era. The Brewster carriages lead all the say to the 1950's and the first VW Franchise in the US.
