Stonington is a charming, historic port town with turbulent history and a lovely historic downtown full of lavish Victorian mansions and beautiful views of ships of all sizes in its colorful harbor. The best place to learn about Stonington sealing, whaling and farming history is Old Lighthouse Museum. Just next to the lighthouse is a magnificent Victorian mansion that belonged to the famous Captain Nathaniel Brown Palmer. Enjoy the views of Stonington Harbor and Fishers Island Sound from small but lovely Dubois Beach. Let New England Science and Sailing take you boating, kayaking or canoeing. Exploring Stonington vineyards, such as Stonington and Saltwater Farm, will give you a different perspective of the city.
