Sights in Mystic

1. A Map

   Mystic Seaport

   • Mystic, USA
   • Sights › Museum

   America's maritime history springs to life as costumed interpreters ply their trades at this sprawling re-created 19th-century seaport village. You can scurry aboard several historic sailing vessels, including the Charles W Morgan (built in 1841), the last surviving wooden whaling ship in the world. If you want to experience a little voyage yourself, the Sabino, a 1908 steamboat, departs hourly ($5.50) on jaunts up the Mystic River.

   Henry B duPont Preservation Shipyard

   • Mystic, USA
   • Sights › Museum

   At the Henry B duPont Preservation Shipyard you can watch large wooden boats being restored. Be sure not to miss the Wendell Building, which houses a fascinating collection of ships' figureheads and carvings. Close by is a small 'museum' for children seven and under. The Seaport also includes a small boat shop, jail, general store, chapel, school, pharmacy, sail loft, shipsmith and ship chandlery - all the sorts of places that you'd expect to find in a real shipbuilding town of 150 years ago.

   Just south of I-95, this pseudo-colonial village green is centered on a Congregational church and surrounded by over 60 shops selling sportswear, gifts, crafts, jewelry and Lladró porcelain. Visitors unimpressed by the array can find refuge in the cinema.
