Top 6 Free Things to do in New London, Connecticut (CT)
The city of New London, Connecticut, has been an important port since the Revolutionary War, when it served as a base for American privateers raiding British Ships. In the 19th century, the revenues brought into the city by whalers helped build what now forms the city's charming center, filled with historic homes, taverns and shops. The masts of tall ships can still be seen passing through the harbor, the home of Coast Guard ships and the site of the annual Sailfest summer celebration.

This is a perfect place to get lost and is free-of-charge to enter. It absolutely a great place to just meander around or to take a brisk walk. The last time I came I took in the beauty of the fall foliage and took a stroll around the wonderful pond.

Ilooked over my right shoulder, my eyes got big, and I thought, "Wow, I gotta see that.' The whales draw me in. The racing sea horses made me laugh. The figure on the hill got me feeling wistful.
