A MUST SEE, NEW NAUTICAL STATE PARK AND EXHIBIT.
Fort Trumbull State Park, New London
In the New London/Groton, CT area they have just opened a new state park with a most interesting military history exhibit. Olde Fort Trumbull has now been fully converted to a state park with its waterfront and docks completely redone. The old officers' quarters has been turned into a large visitors' center with an excellent multimedia exhibit area. This center reviews the history of this initially Revolutionary War fort, its improvements and its final days as the US Navy's Underwater Sound Laboratory. Additionally, this area is directly across the river from EB, where submarines are made and repaired.
If you wish to make a day of it, in this area, some suggested other places to visit during that day are the USS Nautilus Museum in Groton, and further downstream on the Groton side]http://dep.state.ct.us/stateparks/parks/fort_trumbull.htm[/url]
