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...

  • 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
