Our Mission

The mission of the Greater New Haven Labor History Association is to collect, preserve, and share the history of working people in the Greater New Haven Area.

"Hey that's me!" "And my Mom!"

It was one encounter with history after another as
            New Haven dedicated the stunningly restored Augusta
Lewis Troup School. Gale Iannone bumped into a
life-size version of herself from 24 years ago —
and a half-century-old version of her mom on the
48 foot long New Haven Labor History Mural.
