What a wonderful little museum! Found it by accident. Got a personal tour, complete with stories of the history of the building, regional lighthouses, the whaling industry, and the true story of the Amistad. Highly recommend this little gem. Lots of local restaurants nearby as well.

This places encompasses all that new London once was. Situated in an amazing Robert mills federal style arched brick three story building in close proximity to the Thames river, the New London custom house is headquarters for the new London maritime society who also owns, three of the areas coolest light houses. Ledge light, race rock, and new London harbor light. This is a must see if you are in new London and love history or the ocean. There is no where else like this in new London.

The small fee for entry is more than worth the wealth of knowledge gained. Bill gave a tour and told us the history in each area. What a wonderful place!
