Liberty – Victory House
During World War I and II, millions of dollars worth of Liberty, War and Victory Bonds were sold from this tiny house on The Green, demonstrating the commitment of Waterburians to freedom. Young men were encouraged to sign up for the duration at recruitment drives there. Between wars it has been cared for in Hamilton Park. During the 350th anniversary of the state in 1985, it was part of the exhibition in Hartford Civic Center. It was named after the bond drives – Liberty House in World War I and Victory House in World War II.
Marker is at the intersection of Silver Street Expressway (Connecticut Route 69) and East Main Street, on the right when traveling east on Silver Street Expressway.
