Benedict Arnold: The Burning of New London Tuesday, July 7th from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. On the nation’s 250th birthday, author Eric D. Lehman will share a historical look back at the infamous Benedict Arnold presented in his recent book, Homegrown Terror: Benedict Arnold and the Burning of New London. He will discuss the life of this complicated Connecticut native, including the September 6, 1781, attack of his home state, when he led 1,600 British soldiers and loyalists to capture Fort Griswold and burn down the town of New London.
