The Montshire Museum set up a phone booth along the Connecticut River this summer that’s meant to help people cope with loss.
It’s called a wind phone, and there are hundreds like it set up around the world to help people coping with grief.
The one in Norwich was installed this summer on the grounds of the Montshire Museum of Science as part of a broader effort to use its 110-acre forest to promote mental health in the community.
The wind phone is part of a bigger project at the museum to support visitors’ mental health.
