The Noah Webster Influence at Blueback Square in 2008
(Part of educational pages for adults)

At the time of Noah’s 250th birthday, his hometown of West Hartford has redefined its town center with the development of Blue Back Square.  It has been named in honor of West Hartford’s most famous native son.  His statue, which formerly stood on the corner near the library, will stand at the center of Blue Back Square in the public space at the front of the town library where it will serve as a “civic piece of art”, according to developer Richard Heapes.

The lobby of the south garage, near the entrance to the Hartford Hospital Medical Center, will highlight Webster’s Garden, with medicinal herbs such as sage and lavender.  And nearby attorneys’ offices will be evidence of Noah’s early work for copyright laws.
