Booking a Hotel in Groton, CT
Groton is located along the banks of the Thames River and is home to the Naval Submarine Base New London. Stop by the base to visit the Submarine Force Library and Museum, which offers the best display of submarine artifacts and is the only submarine museum operated by the United States Navy.
Also, visit Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park. A former military base during the Revolutionary War, this park was also the site of the 1781 massacre led by Benedict Arnold. At the park, you will find the granite Groton Monument dedicated to those who lost their lives defending the fort and be able to tour the historic fort museum.
If you are feeling adventurous, the Thames River Heritage Park Water Taxi offers an exciting trip on the Thames River traveling between New London and Groton with a stop at Fort Griswold.
Haley Farm State Park is a beautiful place to get outdoors in Groton. This historic, scenic shoreline farm offers a bike trail that is wheelchair accessible and lots of open space for your leisure.
