Historic New Haven

History
4
Originally a wood yard and steamboat stop along the Missouri River called Miller's Landing, New Haven was first platted in 1856. Today, New Haven is home to over 2,000 residents, an award-winning school, an artist community, and a thriving business district. The Anna Bell Chapel, built in 1893, is an African Methodist Episcopal Church on the National Register of Historic Places that still overlooks the Missouri River. The Walt Theatre, built in the 1910s, is a fully restored Art Deco movie theatre that shows current movies on the weekends. Although public education in New Haven began in 1872, the Old Grade School was established almost a decade later and then served as the town's public school for over 100 years. The Central Hotel, built in 1879, is a fully restored hotel with five luxury guest rooms.
