fort trumbull state park印象

Went in January with everything closed............would have like to learn more of the history - even from a brochure being available.

My family visited over the weekend that CT State parks were free. We were expecting the fort to be very crowded, it was anything but. It is a shame. I am not sure how many people visit in a year but it is well worth the time. We started with the museum and videos upstairs in the visitors center. It was very interesting. I did not know Benedict Arnold burnt New London to the ground as well as Fort Trumbull and slaughtered everyone at Fort Griswold. I have lived in CT my whole life and I guess never paid too much attention to the history in my own backyard. It is a nice fort. The only thing we did not like was that we could not go into the rooms within the fort. We could look into them. The man raking the gravel was super nice and we felt so bad walking across the gravel after he had raked it. The grounds were nice and we enjoyed walking out onto the pier. We had packed a picnic and assumed there would be picnic tables since this is a State Park. Nope....thankfully we packed a blanket to sit on. We really enjoyed visiting this fort and leaning it's history.

The fort was nice and well kept up. There is a lot of history here and it was fun to walk around. There is a nice little museum on the grounds as well.

Fort Trumbull is a restored fort from the pre-Civil War era that was used through the Cold War. The restoration was masterfully done, and the adjacent museum is completely interactive and enjoyable for all ages. The fort itself has been restored to the way it looked during the Civil War, with the addition of a very nice exhibit of Cold War submarine-warfare equipment. One feature is a bronze-cast cannon crew servicing a cannon from the Civil War period.The staff is very knowledgeable and very accommodating. While relatively small in overall size, the tall walls and massive stonework in the Greek Revival style leave the visitor impressed with the power of this fort.

This was a revisit for me. See my November 2013 review for fees, background, history, and details of the exhibits. It was a first visit for my friend. It was near closing time for the fort and the museum so we visited only the grounds. Even without going inside the fort, this state park can be enjoyed with a walk around the outside of the fort and the grounds down by the Thames River. There are benches on the walkway facing the river. There is a fishing pier. It was a pleasant stop on our drive around New London after eating a late lunch at Captain Scott’s Lobster Dock a short distance away. This fort is a worthwhile stop on a trip to the New London. The grounds and many areas of the fort are wheelchair accessible. I’d definitely come back here on another trip to or through the area.

After checking out the New London Harbor Light & stopped in to check out Fort Trumbull since it was minutes from the lighthouse right in route. Just minutes away from I-95. This trip I just walked around the perimeter of the fort since I was a bit on a time restraint. The fort opens from 8am to sunset. Didn't have to pay for just walking the grounds. It's a nice view from the exterior of the fort. Walking out onto the pier gives you a nice view of New London & Groton. With the foliage it made for a nice backdrop off the water. I can imagine it being just as nice in the Summer when the sailboats are out. It was a nice stop to take & look forward to revisiting for a more in depth tour.

This is a nice place to take a walk and very nice views of the Thames River. It is a nice place to go and watch the fireworks also. You can walk down the pier there and you can see and old coast guard ship that is docked there.

The fort gave me a feeling of being there during the revolutionary war. The guide explained things in a way that made me understand how life must have been. There is a great museum in the visitors center. The displays are on the history and the work that was done there about underwater sound detection.

First - you have to FIND the place! The signage is lousy! I went by it three times!The best thing was the views of the water and the docks. A walk around the Fort is well worth it. http://www.ct.gov/deep/cwp/view.asp?a=2716&q=325200&deepNav_GID=1650%20They don't tell you how much for the Fort Tour...

Having been around southern forts for years, I was impressed with seeing an northern fort in such good shape. The fort itself has some really interesting back stories and how it was used up until the 90 as a goverment facility. The pros: much history and details about the community, great condition of the grounds and wonderful staff.The cons: The fort does not take cards. The fort seemingly being refurbished past what it originally was, I'm used to seeing structures left as is. It was a good day trip matched with the fort in Groton.
