Lunch & Learn at Fort Trumbull
–
June 10, 2025
Join us for a guided tour of New London's Fort Trumbull, a beautiful park with interactive history of the fort, a riverfront boardwalk, and one-of-a-kind fishing pier. Originally built in 1777 to protect the New London Harbor from British attack, the first masonry structure was destroyed after Benedict Arnold successfully raided the fort and the British burned New London to the ground.
Fort Trumbull has a legacy of service spanning two and a half centuries, from the American Revolution to World War II to the Cold War. Along with serving as a federal military facility, the fort played a pivotal role in the country’s coastal defense system and as the original site of the U.S. Coast Guard.
Lunch is provided.
