At last, a spacious museum being planned for the Coast Guard in New London, Connecticut is making progress! This city is a great choice for the museum, as the Coast Guard Academy is here, plus a Coastie unit in the harbor. Thus, many Coast Guard personnel on active duty and those who have retired live in the area. New London is rife with history, from its early days as a whaling port to the construction of its two lighthouses (New London Harbor Light and New London Ledge Light), plus the memorial Avery Point Light, to the Custom House Museum (with many lighthouse artifacts and documents on display, plus a wonderful gift shop) to the new Coast Guard Museum. Whew! I am so lucky to live close to New London.
I recently received a newsletter from the National Coast Guard Museum Association. I'm sharing and hoping you'll get on board and help the museum happen. Here are some pages from the newsletter.
Information can be obtained, or donations can be sent, to---

Let's help this worthy project!
