New Curiosity Corner is Open. Winter on the Wolf!

Come discover something new in our latest Curiosity Corner. How well do you know the Wolf River and what happens to it in the winter? Find out what happens to the fish, amphibians, and mammals that live in or near the river when it freezes in the winter.

The Curiosity Corner is sponsored by the Friends of the New London Public Museum, thank you!
