Old Lyme Land Trust Intro

March 26, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Old Lyme Land Trust
Old Lyme

Lyme, CT was established in 1667.

Old Lyme, CT was established in 1855.

Wrap your head around that fact and then spend some time poking around Old Lyme which certainly should be New Lyme. The town’s land trust has been around since 1966 and has acquired over 1,000 acres of land around the coastal town.

Much of Old Lyme is estuary and marshland, which makes it somewhat difficult to build to much new development there. And that’s good as far as hiking and boating opportunities go.
