Vermont Historical Society executive director Steve Perkins and Local 22 & Local 44 anchor Mike Hoey visit New Haven to examine a real estate quirk from the colonial era of the United States that's persisted up until the modern day: lease land, land that was granted by New Hampshire's colonial governor, set aside for church use.
