Program and Event Calendar
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!
Saturday, Mar 21st, 10am-1pm
Drop-in at the museum for a free St. Patrick's Day craft, create a colorful paper hat and other fun activities, before the parade starts at 1pm.

Spring is almost here and so are the tomatoes! Become a Friend of the New London Public Museum and receive a free heirloom tomato plant as our thank-you for supporting local history. Even better? Join at the Sustainer level and provide steady, year-round support that helps keep the museum thriving. Members receive one free plant (reserve by April 30), and everyone can purchase additional heirloom varieties while supplies last. It’s a meaningful way to grow your garden and invest in your community. Sign up, dig in, and help history grow!
