OLD LYME—On Friday, June 28, representatives of Old Lyme’s Phoebe Griffin Noyes Library celebrated the opening of the new StoryWalk® in memory of the late Agnes O’Connor at the Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center (RTPEC)’s Sunken Garden.
The RTPEC is located on the site of the former Bee & Thistle Inn.
After a brief dedication, participants were invited to enjoy refreshments and then walk/read the trail featuring In the Tall, Tall Grass by Denise Fleming. All ages are welcome.
The Old Lyme-Phoebe Griffin StoryWalk® is provided in partnership with the Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center. It is located on the RTPEC grounds and can be accessed by visitors most days between dawn and dusk.
The StoryWalk® promotes early literacy, physical activity, and family time together in nature. Stories will be updated seasonally and feature books that celebrate nature.
The StoryWalk® is dedicated to the memory of Agnes O’Connor, a beloved Old Lyme resident and volunteer, who loved reading and nature.
