McLevy Green

Situated in the heart of the historic downtown district and shaded by leafy, mature trees, McLevy Green provides a tranquil setting for many events throughout the year.  Named for Bridgeport’s beloved former Mayor Jasper McLevy, the green is a pleasant place for downtown residents and workers to take a break for fresh air, enjoy a brown bag lunch, or just relax on a park bench.
Adjacent to the Green is the historic McLevy Hall, a Greek Revival structure that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  When McLevy Hall was new, it was visited by a little-known young politician from Illinois who was campaigning for president.  He gave a speech on its steps and a bronze plaque commemorates the event today.  His name?  None other than Abraham Lincoln.

McLevy Green is located at the corner of State and Main Streets.
