Morton Plant, successful railroad, steamship and hotel businessman had an estate at Avery Point. It was turned over to the state in the 1930's. The Coast Guard used it for training during World War II. In 1969 it became the Southeastern Campus of the University of Connecticut (later renamed University of Connecticut at Avery Point).
