"Family values are a little like family vacations—subject to changeable weather and remembered more fondly with the passage of time. Though it rained all week at the beach, it's often the momentary rainbows that we remember."
(Leslie Dreyfous (20th century), U.S. author. AP story, The New York Times (October 25, 1992).)
Welcome!
This site is offered to the people of Groton Long Point as a community web site. We encourage you to come back to it often, and keep up to date on home sales and rentals, post your own home for sale or rent, check for news, go to the bulletin board and post your own messages, sell those items you no longer need, or read about your neighbors' adventures. We hope that it will also be a good way to keep in touch during the long cold winters.
Playground Improvements! The GLP Women's Organization is working to improve and upgrade the playground by putting together a new GLP cookbook. The proceeds from the sales will fund the costs. Please help this very worthwhile effort by donating favorite recipes, buying cookbooks for all your friends, and even sending a donation to help defray some of the costs. Let's show our strong community spirit once again! Contact Jane Bogdan @ 572-9377, Leslie Acquaviva @ 536-3171, or Anni Burbank @ 572-0020.
NEW Feature: Blogs from GLP- add your own stories and comments. Click on "Our blog" in left hand column. Email your own stories to lizviering@mygrotonlongpoint.com. I'll be happy to post them.
NEW: Some additional vintage photos from early 1930s- look under Share your photos...
GLP mentioned in NY Times 2/1/2009. In a story on the 2008 sale of waterfront properties, GLP was mentioned and the featured photo was of Main Beach on a very cold and windy day. Read the story at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/01/realestate/01wczo.html?ref=connecticut
The British Are Coming... Did you know that there was a "battle" at GLP in the War of 1812? Enjoy photos of the first commemorative event, and learn all about it.

Late October 2007: A good day for one last boat ride before we put it away for the winter..... People were still swimming in early October, as the weather remained warm.
