Thank you @c21seaboardproperties for this video!

From a historic Industrial site to an emerging marsh eco system dodge paddock right off wall street in the Stonington Borough has gone through extensive change in its long history. Once used in the 1800s as a bushy shorefront distribution point now turned into a shorefront preserve owned by @avalonialandconservancy open for all to visit.
