Whaling City Restoration Committee

WCRC funds are limited at the moment, but we wanted a project that we could accomplish at no cost.  So, in June of 2007, the Whaling City Restoration Committee volunteered to cleanup leaves, fallen branches, and debris at the Ancientest Burial Ground during the New London, CT, Community Clean-up Day.  The WCRC picked this particular site because we hope to, one day, help restore some of the stones.  Until that time, we will contine to help keep it free of debris.

An interesting article about the location is located on the Asylum Eclectica website and can be accessed here.
