Title A name given to the resource Fresh New London Subject The topic of the resource Non-Profit Description An account of the resource FRESH New London, a local non-profit which works towards systemic change in agriculture and food production practices, as well as food security and sustainability, empowers volunteers to lend a hand in building and maintaining neighborhood community gardens. The organization has an office in Saint James Episcopal Church, and a garden located behind the church. Since its founding, FRESH has also constructed urban gardens in previously unused space, such as its notable McDonald Park. Most of the produce is grown at the group’s Mercer Urban Farm, in which roughly half of the crops are tended to by local residents, and the other by FRESH staff members. More than just a source of food, the parks and gardens are places for the community to gather, learn, and enjoy themselves. The organization also works to engage with New London’s youth, through its after-school programs at local elementary schools in which it teaches children about agriculture and nutrition, and how the food they eat is grown and distributed. As a response to an increasingly urban environment and a lack of affordable, healthy food, Fresh is both a representation of the issues plaguing New London today, as well as its citizens’ resourcefulness, hard work, and passion for the community.

Title A name given to the resource Congregation Beth El Description An account of the resource Founded in 1924 in hopes of a more “modern and more inclusive form of worship,” Congregation Beth El remains a vibrant presence in Jewish life in New London to this day. In 1925, the congregation purchased the Prest House at 60 Blackhall St, which had previously been the Jewish Community Center. However, as both the congregation and the overall Jewish community in New London shrank over the next century, Congregation Beth El found that the Prest House had become too big and difficult to maintain. In 2017, the building was purchased by an educational resource center called Learn. Currently, Congregation Beth EL does not have a permanent location.

Title A name given to the resource The Lyman Allyn Art Museum, est. 1926 Description An account of the resource The Museum was established in 1926 as a gift of New London resident Harriet Allyn in honor of her father and opened its doors in 1932. Allyn’s father, Captain Lyman Allyn, began his career in whaling and eventually branched out into the banking, insurance, and railroad industries. Harriet Allyn bequeathed funds for the Museum in her will, which also donated land to the Connecticut College for Women, and the Museum still has a close relationship with the College today. Architect Charles A. Platt was hired “to design an elegant neo-classical granite structure on a hill overlooking New London and the Thames River." At the time of opening, the Museum held thirteen works but it now is home to 17,000 pieces of American art. The Lyman Allyn prides itself on providing art education to local school children as budgets for art education programs are cut.

Title A name given to the resource New London City Hall Description An account of the resource New London‘s City Hall, on State Street, was originally constructed in 1856 in the Italianate style. This building then had a more residential appearance, in keeping with the houses that lined State Street in the mid-nineteenth century. By the early twentieth century, however, large commercial buildings dominated the street and many in the city government wanted a more imposing Municipal Building to assert civic pride. City Hall was therefore substantially remodeled in 1912. The original design, by W.T. Hallett of Norwich, was replaced with an imposing classical Beaux-Arts exterior, designed by the New London architect, James Sweeney.
