The north lawn of the Florence Griswold Museum was filled with music & poetry, as the community gathered for a moving Juneteenth celebration honoring those who once lived enslaved in the historic town of Lyme.

On Friday, May 30, the community gathered on the lawn of the Old Lyme Phoebe Griffin Noyes Library to mark the culmination of the Witness Stones Old Lyme project, now in its fifth and final year. Twelve new bronze plaques were installed at the Sill Lane Green and the Florence Griswold Museum, bringing the total to 60.
