Join museum professionals, historians, craftspeople, and archaeologists for a day-long experience exploring unique public history collaborations at two of Connecticut’s most amazing museums: Mystic Seaport Museum and Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center. Guides on the bus ride will discuss how the region’s deep connections to the sea influenced communities—on and off the water—and how the reemergence, restoration, and rediscovery of historic people, places, and things can repair and establish historic and contemporary networks. Enjoy tours and special visits from historians and craftspeople at both the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Mystic Seaport, highlighting recent projects and collaborations between the two museums (and Plimoth Plantation). 

In addition to the day's programming, attendees will have time on their own to find lunch and explore beautiful Historic Downtown Mystic.
