NEW LONDON, Conn. (WTNH) — A small treasure has been lost in New London. Now the rightful owner wants it back.

If you have found a black folder in New London, look inside. If you see portraits of our 18th president, Abraham Lincoln, you have stumbled across historic artifacts.

Multiple documents from the 1800s were lost at Connecticut College by a Lincoln enthusiast. The search is now on.
