Hempstead Historic District Walking Tour -- May 18

Just in time for the Charles W. Morgan's visit to City Pier – explore a New London neighborhood that was built as whaling sent the city into an era of great prosperity.

Hear the stories of the people who lived in the neighborhood and discover how this diverse area evolved.

The tour is Sunday, May 18. We begin at 2 p.m. at the Hempsted Houses, 11 Hempstead St.

The walk will be led by Sally Ryan, New London city historian and Hempsted Houses historian. Refreshments will follow the tour. $7 ($6 for seniors 65+ and AAA members), free for Connecticut Landmarks members.
