New Haven Industrial Heritage Trails

The New Haven Industrial Heritage Trails invite you to explore a group of buildings and landscapes that reflect New Haven’s history of an industrial city—a city of factories, coal-fired power plants, railroads and trolleys. The built legacy of industry is distributed across the city in different ways. Some buildings have been adapted and reused. Others remain dormant. And there are those that are threatened by neglect. In some cases, the buildings themselves are gone, but have left traces that can still be perceived.
