2002

The 250th Anniversary of the birth of David Humphreys is publicly commemorated at his birthplace on July 10. Lt. Governor (now Governor) M. Jodi Rell, speaking at the podium in front of the Humphreys House at right, is among the many dignitaries in attendance. Twelve disease resistant American Liberty elm trees are planted in honor of the occasion – 6 in Derby and 6 in Ansonia.
