Engineer's Office, Fort Trumbull

 

This is a picture of the Colonel's desk, in the Engineer's Office, with a white chest, and small cabinet covered with a table covering. Two smaller tables would hold candles and lanterns in the evening. Two candle glasses sit on top of the cabinet. This furniture was donated by the local people in New London, Groton, and Ledyard with a significant portion of the furniture and material donated to the fort by the NETE.

NETE Annual Meeting - 2009; Fort Trumbull

 

The same members as the first Fort Trumbull photo except for the man on the extreme Right. He is the Fort Trumbull Ranger. The Ranger has been extremely helpful in allowing the Northeast Topographical Engineers (NETE) to bring some period furniture, maps, drawings, models, and equipment to the Fort Trumbull interior spaces. This work, which, is all NETE volunteer work, makes the fort interior look just a bit more period in the six rooms that the NETE have worked in as well as some of the fort casemates. The picture is taken on the road leading to the rear of the fort and the Main Sally Port.
