Reviews
This is such a great museum who has really made it their mission to preserve maritime enthusiasm among many varied visitors. The director Susan is superbly accomodating, doing her very best to ensure that a remarkable time is had by all. She went far out of her way to arrange a Harbor light tour for me on the tail end of an amazing excursion out to Little Gull Island Lighthouse. Her young volunteer who showed me the harbor light was also a remarkable asset to the program. I had such a wonderful day rejoicing in a hobby I love because of the dedication to excellence of this amazing staff. Thank you to all who keep the New London Custom House Museum thriving!
Got the tour from the “guy in red suspenders” who was a wealth of knowledge on the history of the New London area and it’s maritime history water, whaling, and war made the port here what it is…turned into a fascinating 2 1/2 hour tour of several connections to American history including a fascinating description of the Amistad story. One of the best places for history in the area.
A wonderful museum staffed by wonderful people! They were so excited to teach us about our local history. I walked out of that museum knowing much more than I did before. Paying is completely optional. They do ask that you give a little I believe 7 bucks, but it is entirely up to you. My family and I did end up giving them some on our way out.

This place is outstanding! I mean, where else are you going to actually go into a lighthouse? The staff is amazing and very accommodating, and the passion they have for their lighthouses and the history behind them is palpable. I won't hesitate to return when not if I visit Connecticut again!
This was great! Our tour guide was friendly, fun/witty, and informative. We were a little nervous about arriving within an hour of closing, but were still greeted warmly and didn't feel rushed through by any means.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
