Review:

The Thames River Heritage Park & Water Taxi was Connecticut’s first heritage park. As a heritage park, it combines contemporary and historical sites, including institutions and communities on either side of the river. The Thames River Heritage Water Taxi takes you across the water and lets you learn about the area’s history while seeing historic spots, such as where Benedict Arnold stormed Fort Griswold in 1781. There are multiple great sites in and by the heritage park, including the Nathan Hale Schoolhouse, the Historic Waterfront District, Shaw Mansion, Hempsted Houses, Fort Trumbull, and Custom House Maritime Museum. Just remember that the water taxi is seasonal and does not operate in the winter.
