About
A unique collaboration of three municipalities (New London, City of Groton, and Town of Groton), the Thames River Heritage Park encompasses nearly 20 national and historic sites along the Thames River in southeastern Connecticut. A seasonal water taxi takes visitors to four “anchor” sites: Fort Trumbull State Park, Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park, the Submarine Force Museum, and the future National Coast Guard Museum on the New London waterfront. The park’s vision is to “connect people, communities, institutions, sites and stories to the historic waterfront and natural landscape of the Thames River Estuary.”
Who’s it for?
Businesses involved in the history of the Thames River region, or those who want to interact with people visiting the region to learn about its history.
