Promoting Peace & Justice

for Over 50 Years

Picture

Peace & Nature

The Voluntown Peace Trust is a 54-acre community land trust in beautiful Voluntown, Connecticut. We have outdoor sculptures, wooded walking trails, a labyrinth, a campfire pit, and much more to discover. Voluntown is a quiet rural town, 70% of which is Pachaug State Forest, Connecticut’s largest state forest. The public beach at Beach Pond is within walking distance, and the boat launch is less than a 5 minute drive away.

Workshops & Events

We offer several community events, celebrations, and workshops throughout the year. Contact us to schedule a workshop or event for your organization. You can also join our mailing list to learn when public workshops and community events are scheduled.

The Voluntown Peace Trust welcomes groups and individuals doing sustainability, peace, and justice work. To those seeking conference space or a retreat, we offer several affordable facilities for rent year-round, including a conference center and lodging. All of our facilities are surrounded by the tranquil, natural splendor of New England. Learn more about our meeting and living spaces and their rental fees here.

In addition to hosting peace, justice, and sustainability groups, we also host family gatherings, weddings, and short-stay vacation rentals. Individuals and groups are welcome. Private rentals can be booked for the day or overnight. Learn more about our rental spaces here.
