New London Audio Tour: Echoes of Whalers, Wealth, and Worship

Embark on the New London Audio Tour: Echoes of Whalers, Wealth, and Worship

A hidden skull carved into an ancient gravestone. A spire that watched rebels and visionaries alike. New London’s streets whisper secrets where most see only history textbooks.

This self-guided audio tour unearths the drama and intrigue woven between landmarks like St. James Episcopal Church, Ye Antientist Burial Ground, and the storied Downtown New London Historic District. Expect unexpected stories and overlooked corners most rush past.

Who plotted their escape beneath the shadows of the old church on a fateful night? What name keeps echoing among crumbling stones in the burial ground? Why did a single scandal forever change the fate of a bustling district corner?

Walk through centuries of ambition, heartbreak, and mysteries still echoing on cobblestones. Every step reveals another side of New London—its hidden rebellions, silent scandals, and untold legends—waiting to be discovered.

Dare to listen closely. The city’s untold stories await.
