New London Maritime Society
For 38 years we have collected, preserved, and celebrated the stories of the local waterfront. We've weathered the pandemic (closed for 63 weeks), and are back as a vital community center, education and preservation organization.
Together we maintain New London’s Custom House and three lighthouses – all three of these beacons were celebrated at our Annual Meeting on November 7, which was the 260th anniversary of the first lighting of New London Harbor Light. Preservation work is ongoing at all four of our sites.
Your dollars keep the Custom House Maritime Museum doors open and its programs alive. New for 2021, they support our initiative to ensure that all New London students and their families may visit the Custom House Maritime Museum without charge: the John Michael Corcoran Museum Day Fund. Your gifts also help fund year 12 of NLMS's third-grade Local History & Landmarks program in the Public Schools, which we provide without fee to the children of New London. We don't want to leave anyone out!
