About Mystic

Mystic is a Connecticut seaport village on the Mystic River, home to a large maritime museum, tall ships, a drawbridge and a shoreline of quiet coves.

Mystic is a village shared by the towns of Stonington and Groton on Connecticut's eastern shore, where the Mystic River runs down to Fishers Island Sound. In the nineteenth century its shipyards built whalers and fast clipper ships, and that history is the draw. Mystic Seaport Museum recreates a working port, with historic vessels including the Charles W. Morgan, an 1841 whaleship that is the last of its kind afloat. A bascule drawbridge crosses the river at the foot of Main Street.

Top-ranked sights in Mystic: Mystic Seaport Museum, Charles W. Morgan Whaleship.
