Education
Researching and sharing New London’s history and architecture is a big part of what we do.
In the past few years we've...
-
Worked with the City of New London to develop a fifteen-site Black Heritage Trail
-
Hosted lectures on the Italian anarchist community that lived on the Fort Trumbull peninsula, on Ichabod Pease and on New London’s Black whalers
-
Led walking tours of multiple historic districts, including Belden Street, the Hodges Square Historic District and Cedar Grove Cemetery
-
Partnered with Connecticut College and Elevate+ to provide student interns with work experience and research opportunities
-
Collaborated with Connecticut Fair Housing on both a lecture and walking tour of the former Shapley Street area, a predominantly Black neighborhood that was lost to urban renewal
-
Created a digital pandemic documentation exhibit, “New London Speaks: Voices from a Pandemic” so that future researchers will know what it was like to live through the pandemic here and so that our current community could share their experiences during a period of isolation
