About this park
Fort Trumbull State Park in New London sits on the west bank of the Thames River, where a restored 1839 masonry fort overlooks the water. The fort is part of a long line of defenses that guarded this important harbor over the centuries. A visitor center and museum explain the history of the fort and the surrounding area, and visitors can walk the ramparts and enjoy views of the river. A riverfront fishing pier gives anglers easy access to the water, and the open grounds are pleasant for a stroll. The museum costs $6 for adults and $2 for youth. It pairs naturally with a visit to Fort Griswold on the opposite bank.
