It consists of a chapel, stations of the cross, and replicas of catacombs and Israelite villages constructed from cinder blocks, bathtubs, and other discarded materials. The park closed to the public in 1984 and fell into disrepair. On September 14, 2014, the site reopened to the public for the first time in 30 years with an inaugural Mass. The area is now open to the general public during daylight hours. Holy Land USA was conceived by John Baptist Greco, a Waterbury-based attorney, with the purpose of creating an attraction that would replicate Bethlehem and Jerusalem of the Biblical era. During its peak years in the 1960s and 1970s, Holy Land USA attracted upwards of 40,000 visitors annually. Greco closed Holy Land USA in 1984 with plans to improve and expand the site, but the work was left unfinished when Greco died in 1986. After its closure, Holy Land USA fell into a state of advanced disrepair, and many attractions and statues were vandalized. Although it was not open to the public, the site continued to attract attention. In 2002, the Waterbury Region Convention and Visitors Bureau received more than 150 calls asking for directions to the site. The website Roadside America included the park in coverage of offbeat attractions, albeit with the cautionary note that visitors should "explore with caution (and with an up-to-date tetanus shot)." On the evening of July 15, 2010, 16-year-old Chloe Ottman was raped and murdered by 19-year-old Francisco Cruz at the park, at the site of the large, lit cross. Cruz was charged with capital felony, murder, sexual assault and strangulation. Ottman's family agreed to a plea offer and Cruz pleaded guilty on April 20, 2011. He was sentenced to 55 years in prison on June 17, 2011. Cruz was incarcerated at the Cheshire Correctional Institution in Cheshire, Connecticut.
