The Historic Stonington Welcome Center Project

The Welcome Center will enhance the property and guest experience with dynamic, accessible museum space, an inviting terrace with granite benches, walking paths, and off-street ADA-accessible parking.

The footprint of our planned addition measures less than 500 square feet but will create almost 1,000 square feet of usable space thanks to a finished basement. The main floor will house a Welcome Center providing access to the entire first floor of the Museum for those with physical challenges. New and expanded exhibits will incorporate original scholarship and feature interactive and multimedia components, allowing us greater flexibility to showcase Stonington’s history. Significant grading amendments to one of the few remaining green spaces in Stonington Borough will greatly improve the venue for community concerts, holiday picnics, celebrations, and family programs.
