God's Acre

Best childhood memories singing Christmas carols on Christmas Eve with the entire town every year at Gods Acre!

God’s Acre is perhaps the most beautiful property in town, the place for a peaceful walk or meditation. It’s the location of my family’s church, The Congregational Church of New Canaan and New Canaan’s favorite place to celebrate Christmas. We enjoy 😉 the large Christmas Tree, the only tree in town to be decorated with multicolored lights. It’s also the location of our annual Christmas song fest where we gather in the cold weather to sing Christmas Carols in the snow ⛄️ while we listen to the sounds of the New Canaan Marching band. We enjoy 😉 each other’s company with a cup of hot chocolate after our caroling. Other times of year we love 💕 relaxing 😎 on the comfortable wooden benches lining the walkways. Perfect place for a wedding, my sister and my parents were married on this gorgeous piece of property. God’s Acre is a fabulous place on the top of a hill next to The New Canaan Train Station and a few blocks from Starbucks. Note: God’s Acre is owned by the Town of New Canaan and is open to all accepting donations to keep the holiday tradition alive.
