IFCPP New England Chapter Meeting - May 2019

Join the New England Chapter of the IFCPP for a fascinating excursion to the Old New-Gate Prison & Copper Mine in East Grandby, CT

Chartered in 1705, Old New-Gate Prison & Copper Mine is the site of the first operating copper mine in the North American Colonies.  In 1773, the colony of Connecticut acquired the copper mine property to be used as a workhouse and prison for convicted criminals. Today  they have been designated as a Connecticut State Archaeological Preserve.
