Boardwalk Benches- Silent Sentinels

Stories from the Heart

During May 2020, as you walk the Boardwalk to get some release from being home based, take note of the dedications on each bench. The unique story behind every dedication is captivating as they express loss, sorrow, laughter and contentment, celebrating weddings, anniversaries, births, and graduations.

Tell us the ones that move you or make you smile.

Two hundred benches have been dedicated since the opening of the Boardwalk in 2005. To read the names of the people who donated these benches, go to the web-site for The East Lyme Public Trust Foundation where you will find the list in the Dedication Brochure.
