Selectboard approves site and date for Homer Hulbert memorial on Town Office lawn
Summary
The Selectboard and Kathy Cahill chose the front lawn of the Town Office/Library as the site for a granite-based Homer Hulbert memorial with bilingual inscriptions; dedication set for Oct. 3, 2026.
Kathy Cahill, serving as the liaison between sculptor DongJin Kim (Korea) and the New Haven Historical Society, presented plans for a Homer Hulbert memorial with a granite base and a bust-style sculpture. Cahill told the Selectboard the base will carry an inscription in English on one side and Korean on the other; the board selected the front lawn of the Town Office/Library as the installation site and Cahill will place stakes to mark the proposed footprint.
The board set the dedication for the afternoon of Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, and invited the public to attend. The project timeline depends on fabrication and delivery of the sculpture; no cost or funding breakdowns were provided in the meeting transcript.
