Stonington Borough is a small Connecticut town that was incorporated as the town center of Stonington, Connecticut in 1801. The charming Little Narragansett Bay town retains its slow and easy 19th-century character today, with many historic homes within the borough renovated into vacation or summer homes for visitors today. Eclectic boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants and cafes line the borough's Water Street. Visitors can also step back in time at the Lighthouse Museum and Captain Palmer House, which lets guided tour participants climb to the top of a preserved 1840 lighthouse and learn about the life and career of Antarctica discoverer Captain Nathaniel Brown Palmer.
