Walk back in history thanks to America’s largest maritime museum, Mystic Seaport, a recreation of a 19th-century seafaring village spread out over 17 acres. Includes a living museum, depicting coastal life in 19th century New England, a waterfront featuring tall ships and historic vessels open for tours, a restoration shipyard, where shipwrights restore antique vessels using traditional methods and tools and a series of exhibits and galleries. Nice shops and restaurants on site. Plan to spend at least a half day or more to fully enjoy all the spectacular attractions.
