Rollie McKenna Community Photo Contest
2024-04-15 - 2024-04-26 | The Old Lighthouse Museum, 7 Water Street, Stonington, CT, 06378, United States
The Rosalie Thorne McKenna Community Photo Contest is held in April every year at the Lighthouse Museum. This year’s theme is portraits. Rollie McKenna made her career in portrait photography, and we’d love to honor her amazing talent with this year’s theme. So go through those photos from last year, or make arrangements to take a photo of that person you really love speaking to. We are constantly asked for photographs of Stonington residents of the past, and this will ensure that we continue recording our town for future generations. As always, photographs should be of a Stonington resident. Please submit your entry to Chelsea Mitchell at cmitchell@historicstonington.org before April 1.
