DescriptionMap of the town of Stonington, Connecticut, with insets of Mystic, West Mystic, North Stonington and Stonington. The town is divided into three sections, each of which correspond to Open House Days on different dates. There are numbers inscribed within circles on the map that correspond to three lists on the verso announcing the private houses that were open to the public. Below the map is information about where the tickets were sold, as well as about additional tricentennial events and the scholarships funded by the profits.
