From the Connecticut River to the Pawcatuck, along the shoreline and up through New London County’s rural farmlands, our region is rich with museums, theatres, restaurants, wineries, and other places and people of note. In Local Treasures, we partner with them to showcase the cultural resources available right here in our own backyard.
