Tale of the Whale Museum
description: This brochure advertises the “Tale of the Whale Museum” located in 3 Whale Oil Row. A message at the bottom reads “Save The Whale,” with a warning that “great whales are almost extinct.” This example of New London’s current environmental activism shows the city’s pride in its history as it evolves with the times.
