Welcome to Lordship!
And Welcome To Celebrating The LIA's 100th Anniversary Year With Us ...
Enjoy Captain Kidd's Garden at the Lordship Bluffs.
The LIA maintains 8 beautiful gardens and the Bluffs.
Lordship is noted as a friendly seaside community.
On a peninsula jutting into Long Island Sound on the shore of Stratford, CT, Lordship is a delightful residential community bounded on the west by the Great Meadows Salt Marsh and on the east by Stratford Point and the historic lighthouse guarding the rocky entrance to the Housatonic River.
And celebrating its 100th Anniversary year in 2024 is the Lordship Improvement Association (LIA) - a land trust that owns and maintains the spectacular Lordship Bluffs, nature trails and Russian Beach on the shore for the enjoyment of Lordship residents.
The LIA is also known for its creation and maintenance of 8 public gardens in Lordship plus environmental and education projects. (See more on this below and throughout this website).

ABOUT THE LIA …
The Lordship Bluffs - the extensive acreage
from the southern edge of Park Boulevard to the high water mark of the Sound, and from the western edge of Lordship Road to the western edge of Spruce Street - are owned by the residents of Lordship.
Held in a land trust by the Lordship Improvement Association (LIA), the Bluffs belong to us!
Yet maintaining the gorgeous Bluffs is only one of the many, many beautification, environmental and education projects that LIA volunteers - your neighbors - accomplish all year round ... including
maintaining eight beautiful gardens (see map)!
The LIA is an all-volunteer, non-profit private foundation under Connecticut State Law, and since 1924, our mission has been to …
