Let’s Build It: Historic Stonington

Get ready for a day of creativity and community as the Stonington Community Center (COMO) partners with Historic Stonington for an exciting architectural building block workshop on Saturday, November 2, 2024. This family-friendly event, held in the COMO Gym, promises to be a unique opportunity for residents to come together and celebrate the rich history of the Stonington Borough.

In collaboration with Historic Stonington, the event will feature a large-scale printed map of the Borough, which will serve as the canvas for a one-of-a-kind Lego creation. Fifty local landmarks have been identified, and teams of families, friends, and community members are invited to recreate these iconic buildings. Participants will select a landmark or location, receive a photograph for reference, and begin building their Lego masterpiece. Once completed, each creation will be placed on the map, ultimately forming a stunning 3D version of the Stonington Borough. This interactive project is a fantastic way for the community to engage with local history while fostering creativity and teamwork.
