Connecticut College is across the river, in New London, near the Coast Guard Academy.

15 or so minutes drive from Avery Point, which is in Groton.

Thanks for the location clarification. It's no fun being at the right time at the wrong place.

I will be assisting Dr. Marcia Phillips McGowan by leading two songs based on Cicely Fox Smith's poetry: "By the Pagoda Anchorage" and "Farewell to ANZC."

I'm looking all over the website and festival program for a GPS-able address. Alas, no joy. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out. I wish they would include that info as a matter of course.

GUEST,
I plugged "Olin Science Center" into my Google Maps (GPS) and it came right up.
Failing that, it's Connecticut College on Mohegan Ave, Pkwy (Route 32) in New London.
