  Mystic Seaport Museum is a must see. I was lucky enough to go there when they had a Viking display at the museum. Just amazing to see such ancient relics and learn about their history. The seaport is charming, informative and fun. Also, the actual town of Mystic is great as well. Lots of boutiques and great restaurants. I highly recommend this stop in your travels.

  A great place to learn a little bit about the whaling industry. The seaport was laid out great. You can do the entire grounds in one day and still want to come back for more. A great way to spend a day. Definitely on my list of places to return.
