Happy first day of summer! Let's celebrate with a throwback...

Do you remember the old Groton Town Beach, located across from Bluff Point near the Groton-New London Airport? At its peak popularity the beach was recording upwards of 2,500 visitors a weekend. From the Local History Collection at the Groton Public Library.

The Library will be closed on Friday, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth. Have a safe and happy holiday!

Last weekend, on CT Open House Day, more than 200 visitors joined us at Groton's historic Jabez Smith House. They enjoyed tours, explored an authentic encampment, dedicated a Liberty Tree, met members of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution, visited with local authors, experienced 18th-century games and crafts, and pet live farm animals.

Thank you to our volunteers who brought history to life and made this day an amazing success! We couldn't have done it without you.

This Thursday, join us for "Connecticut, Color, and the Fight for Freedom." While many Black men served during the Revolutionary War, the Militia Act of 1792 made it illegal for them to enlist in state militias until 1862. Historian John Mills explores the often-overlooked events and social conditions that shaped attitudes in Connecticut from the Revolutionary War through the Civil War.
