Music at the Fort

Written By Friends of Fort Trumbull State Park

Great news! The Second FREE Band concert in Fort Trumbull, will be held on Monday, August 5, 2024, at 6:45 p.m. It has been many summers since the Fort has echoed with the music of band concerts. This summer, the Friends of Fort Trumbull, with the assistance of Ranger-Eric Gileau, are pleased to present the second of such concerts- The Waterford Community Band.

The Conductor of the Band is Zach Thomas-a GRAMMY nominated music educator- who is the Director of Instrumental Music at Ledyard High School in Ledyard, CT. Mr. Thomas was the Music Director and Conductor of The Original Waterford Community Band.

Friends of Fort Trumbull State Park

The Friends of Fort Trumbull State Park facilitate access to Fort Trumbull State Park in New London, Connecticut. We have a stated mission to “bring to the visiting public the history of Fort Trumbull” and the surrounding area. On the banks of Connecticut’s Thames River and opposite Fort Griswold, Fort Trumbull’s history begins with the Revolutionary War. The current fortification dates back to the Antebellum Period, and it has housed both the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and the U.S. Merchant Marine Officer Training School. The Friends of Fort Trumbull State Park host a speakers’ series with talks emphasizing the site’s historic and cultural value. These events are free and open to the public. Fort Trumbull also hosts other Special Events throughout the year.
