Mystic Seaport Tour Bus Trip

Mystic Seaport is the nation’s largest maritime museum. The Museum’s grounds cover 19 acres on the Mystic River in Mystic, Connecticut and include a recreated New England coastal village, a working shipyard, formal exhibit halls, and state-of-the-art artifact storage facilities. The Museum is home to more than 500 historic watercraft, including four National Historic Landmark vessels, most notably the 1841 whaleship Charles W. Morgan, America’s oldest commercial ship still in existence.

A stroll through the historic village enables visitors to experience firsthand from staff historians, storytellers, musicians, and craftspeople just what life was like to earn one’s living from the sea. In the Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard, they can watch shipwrights keeping the skills and techniques of traditional shipbuilding alive as they restore and maintain the Museum’s watercraft collection and other vessels.

Tickets are $70 for OLLI members; $75 for guests, and include roundtrip bus, snacks on the bus, and Mystic Seaport admission.
