We have a stated mission to “bring to the visiting public the history of Fort Trumbull” and the surrounding area. On the banks of Connecticut’s Thames River and opposite Fort Griswold, Fort Trumbull’s history begins with the Revolutionary War. https://t.co/HgC8vOBnFF

Fort Trumbull in New London, CT was a significant Union training ground during the Civil War, serving as a key recruitment center and headquarters for regiments like the 14th U.S. Infantry, where new recruits were organized and drilled before being sent to fight. @CTFortTrumbull
