BUILDING A MUSEUM INSIDE & OUT When you think about a museum, you think about the exhibits, the stories, and the immersive experience you will have as a visitor. As we build the National Coast Guard Museum, we will continue to share the historical and engaging content that will fi ll our galleries and exhibits— but a museum is so much more. A free national museum is a destination, part of the city’s skyline and, in our case, a cornerstone of the historic Thames River waterfront in New London, Connecticut. Extending beyond the walls of the 80,000-square-foot glassenclosed building, will be a welcoming waterfront promenade named after the Revenue Cutter Argus. And we are thrilled to share with you a rendering of this stunning outdoor space and invite you to participate in its creation. Nestled between City Pier and the ferry terminals, the Argus Promenade will provide waterfront access for the entire community and serve as a meaningful and impactful welcoming pathway to the National Coast Guard Museum. Running parallel to the Thames River, the paved promenade is named after one of the original 10 cutters commissioned by the Revenue Marine Service at the behest of the first Secretary of Treasury of the United States, Alexander Hamilton (learn more about the origins of the Revenue- Marine and the cutter Argus on page 8). This scenic riverfront location, with its picturesque views into the active Long Island Sound, its vibrant sunrises, and gentle lapping waves will provide a serene backdrop for relaxation and contemplation about our Nation’s storied seafaring history. Built for the community, by the community, the Argus Promenade is the Museum’s living archive—a place where you can honor a patriot, thank a loved one, or carve your own space in support of the National Coast Guard Museum through the recently launched commemorative paver program. Custom pavers will not only support the mission of the Museum, but also allow you to be a part of history in the making. The gray, 3-inch-thick, textured granite pavers are custom-engraved and will last for generations. Pavers are available in two sizes: 4”x 8” and 8”x 8” (and are 100% tax-deductible). The funds raised go directly toward the museum’s construction and supports its mission to educate, honor, and preserve our rich maritime history through the lens of the United States Coast Guard.
