New London Main Street and Flock Theatre want to take you on a magical journey through time. Watch over 200 year's of New London's rich history come alive in New London's Historic Waterfront District.
Embark on a horse-drawn carriage from the Harris Building at 165 State Street to the first scene at the historic Hempstead House. Continue on a walking tour of this time travel adventure written by award-winning playwright Charles Traeger. These engaging scenes will take place at two more historical sites - the Shaw Mansion and the U.S. Custom House, with the final scene taking place at City News on State Street, where you will witness a heartwarming holiday homecoming from World War II.
