Mystic Seaport is the living museum of America’s maritime past. Located on 19 acres on the banks of Mystic River in Mystic, Connecticut it includes a recreation of a 19th century Connecticut coastal village, a shipyard, several exhibit halls, storage for a large number of historic artifacts, and over 500 historic ships and other watercraft such as America’s oldest commercial ship, the 1841 whaler the Charles W. Morgan.
Stroll through the village, which will transport you to the mid-1800s with stories from historians, musicians, storytellers, and craftspeople who will bring to life the hard lives of those whose destiny was linked to the sea. Stop by the Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard to watch the traditional shipbuilding techniques that have been kept alive over the years as the craftsmen work on restoring and maintaining the museum’s collection of watercraft. A place of learning and a nostalgic reminder of the past, Mystic Seaport is also a fun place to browse and enjoy yourself. You can let your imagination run wild and simply have a good time – there is always something going on by the water.
