These photographs were taken on the village green in Wethersfield, Connecticut. This was the site of the Nathaniel Foote homestead (Nathaniel Foote 1592 - 1644) The monument was placed here by the original Foote Family Association in 1908. This organization was active between 1907 and 1934, and then reorganized and is 30 years old. The monument was restored during the 2009 Foote Family reunion. We parked on a nearby residential street corner to visit this monument. When we walked back I saw that we were parked under the street sign "Foote Path"!
