Architect Stephen W. Schwartz is back at the Stonington Community Center (COMO) Gym with a map of the Stonington Borough, for the second annual Let’s Build It! Building Block Workshop, in collaboration with Historic Stonington. Saturday, November 8, 2025 from 1-3 p.m. participants will work in teams of 4 to create a giant 3D map of iconic Stonington landmarks and businesses. Residents and friends will enjoy this unique opportunity to come together and celebrate the rich history of the Stonington Borough. It’s a family-friendly learning experience for people of all ages to see the town from a different perspective. The event is open to ages 7+ and no prior experience is required.
In this hands-on, engaging workshop, participants not only build structures but also deepen their understanding of Stonington’s history and architecture through interactive, team-based exploration. The event reflects both COMO’s mission of fostering creativity and community engagement, and Historic Stonington’s dedication to preserving and celebrating the Borough’s heritage. Tickets are $25 per team of 4. Whether you're a seasoned builder or just looking for a fun way to spend the day with family and friends, all are welcome. Join the fun on November 8 at the COMO and be a part of building something truly special!
