CT Summer at the Museum 2023

It’s time to explore! From July 1st to September 4th, one Connecticut child age 18 and under plus one accompanying Connecticut resident adult can cruise to the Sheffield Island Lighthouse Museum for FREE!**

Join us for the most breathtaking tour of the outer Norwalk Harbor, Norwalk’s three historic lighthouses, and arrive at Sheffield Island Lighthouse. Your trip begins with a narrated tour of the historic Norwalk Harbor taking you back to Norwalk’s early days when Native American’s introduced the English settlers to a strange seafood delicacy…raw oysters. Along the way you will see many migratory birds and their nests, along with the other islands that dot the harbor. As you leave the inner harbor you will cruise towards three Norwalk lighthouses: Peck Ledge Light built in 1906 , then on to Greens Ledge Light built in 1902, then finally to the beautiful historic Sheffield Island Lighthouse built in 1868; which is owned and operated by the Norwalk Seaport Association.

Finally arriving at Sheffield Island where you step back 154 years in maritime history, with a tour of Sheffield Lighthouse, nature trails, and a day out on a beautiful island.

Without a question a fun relaxing tour with plenty of fresh air and unforgettable views for you, your friends, & family.
