CTMQ’s Guide to New London

October 21, 2019 by Steve 2 Comments

Everything New London

I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” New London CTMQ-style… as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ.

If I’ve missed anything in town or if anything has closed or changed, please let me know.

    New London Ledge Lighthouse is technically in City of Groton waters, but many of us who take pride in that fact have long ago made peace with always seeing it listed as being in New London. Good list!

    Oh no. I can’t abide by that and have fixed it!
