What does a visit to Mystic, Connecticut look like? Historic, epicurian, walkable, picturesque, waterfront, award-winning. In Mystic, you won't have to imagine the history that comes from this 19th century ship-building community. Mystic has preserved her rich history meticulously; boats sitting in calm, blue waters as they await the opening of the Bascule Drawbridge, tall ships tied to the wharf, the hustle and bustle of Downtown Mystic, and Captain’s mansions lining the winding roads all contribute to making Mystic so special for visitors and residents alike. Once you've returned home, we know it won't be long before you’ll be planning your next visit to Mystic, Connecticut.
