Celebration of Long Wharf Pier’s Designation as a National Historic Place
Join us in commemorating the designation of Long Wharf Pier as a National Historic Place.
Learn about the innovative methods that William Lanson – a free Black engineer, entrepreneur, and abolitionist – used to build the pier, the history of the pier, of New Haven Harbor, and the impact both had on the growth of New Haven. Then, enjoy ice cream and gelato!
Both events take place at the Boathouse at Canal Dock, are free, and open to the public. Registration is encouraged, but not required. Register here.
