The centuries-old sea captains houses along the shore have been well preserved; many now house antique shops and oyster bars that sell fresh-caught seafood reeled in from the harbor. You can actually tour an actual 19th-century whaling village called the Mystic Seaport Maritime Museum with the last wooden whaling ship in existence, The Charles W. Morgan.When the leaves change in autumn, and again after the first snowfall, Mystic takes on a storybook quality that’s best appreciated from old Bastille Bridge over the Mystic River in the historic downtown area. Kayak around the adjoining estuary, a wildlife management area. Its saltwater and freshwater marshlands are home to a variety of fish and waterfowl.
