Holy Land was started by John Greco in 1956 and spans 18 acres on a hilltop in Waterbury. It contained replicas in miniature of buildings in Israel and attracted many visitors when it was open as a religious park. After Mr. Greco's death in 1986 the park was closed and began to succumb to vandals and neglect. The current cross perched on the crown of the hill stands 57' tall, 26' wide and is lit at night using 5000 LED's which can be programmed to different colors depending on the holiday/time of year. There is a currently a revitalization effort to bring the park back to what it once was.
St. Anne's Church was started in 1906 and finally completed in 1922. It's suffered two fires in the 1970's and there is currently a non profit organization which is trying to revitalize the interior of the church. It's spires stand 100' tall and tours of the inside of the church can be had by appointment on the first Sunday of each month.

Waterbury, the seat of New Haven County, is situated on the Naugatuck River, 21 miles from New Haven. It has been called the Brass Center of the World.
Waterbury was purchased from the Indians by residents of Farmington in 1674. They started a new community in 1677 which they named Mattatuck, changed to Waterbury when the town was incorporated in 1686. It was chartered as a city in 1853; in 1901, city and town were consolidated.
Waterbury became famous in the 19th century for the manufacture of brass items. Its brass industry can be traced to 1802. The Waterbury Mint, owned by the Scovill Manufacturing Company, produced planchets (blanks for coins), which the U.S. Mint used to produce coins for an assortment of foreign countries.
In 1878, the Waterbury Watch Company was organized for the explicit purpose of producing cheap watches. These watches gained a reputation for shoddy workmanship, so the company abandoned the brand and renamed itself the New England Watch Company. It was later incorporated into the company that became Timex. A visit to Timexpo provides a look into a century and a half of watch making in Waterbury.
Waterbury's two hospitals are Waterbury Hospital and St. Mary's Hospital. Waterbury hospital opened in 1890 in a Victorian mansion overlooking the city. The cornerstone of St. Mary's was laid in 1907 and the hospital was dedicated two years later. It was founded by the Sisters of St. Mary's of Chambery.
Post College, a regional business college, was founded in 1890. In 1990, it affiliated itself with the worldwide Teikyo Group and is now known as Teikyo Post University. The University of Connecticut has operated a campus in Waterbury for about half a century.
The Railroad Museum of New England operates the Naugatuck Railroad between Thomaston and Waterbury. The Golden Age of Trucking Museum displays exhibits from the history of trucking, with an emphasis on the 1950's. The Mattatuck Museum, located on the Green in central Waterbury, provides highlights from Waterbury's three centuries of history.

At Holy Land
Holy Land is an abandoned theme park from the 1970s that is in Waterbury, CT. They are planning on reopening it at some point, so they are starting to renovate it, mainly by adding a new cross. We were their for a friend's Eagle Scout project wherein we cleared brush and chipped it on the property.
