Today is Monday, April 27, 2026 
April is National Volunteer Month! The Park has a large crew of folks who dedicate their time to local heritage sites, Park events, historic boat tours and other excursions on the Thames River.
Enjoy these updates as we highlight a new volunteer each week. We are so grateful for the time and energy they contribute to our mission!
Roger brings a diverse skillset to his volunteerism with the Park! As a second-year graduate of the Docent Academy, you can frequently spot him at the Lecture Series or delivering local presentations on the Revolutionary War.
He also lends his knowledge and experiences as an employee with the U.S. Navy to Fort Trumbull State Park! Roger aids in historical research for museum displays and is a lead docent at the fort.
Meet Jim Flood!
Jim was a member of the second Docent Academy cohort and began volunteering at the Custom House Maritime Museum after graduation. He has since done his own research to become well-versed in Whaling and Maritime History in Groton and New London.
Jim also currently supports yearly Park events including the annual Lecture Series and Docent Academy!
