Summary:
The Nathan Hale Schoolhouse is moved from its fourth location on Captain's Walk in New London to its fifth on Union Square. The 214-year-old, 25-30 ton building was moved by the Edwin L. Monroe Co. of Norwich, using huge tow trucks and sturdy steel cables. The building began its life next to the Crocker House [on Bank Street], was then moved to Ye Antientest Burying Ground on Hempstead Street (1901), then next to the Olde Town Mill on Crystal Avenue (1966), thence to Captain's Walk in 1975.
