Stroll Through a Recreated 19th-Century Seaport Village

The buildings in the recreated 19th-century seaport village are not replications. They are trade shops and businesses from the 1800s that were transported to Mystic Seaport Museum from locations around New England. The Seaport Village is made up of many bustling maritime trades. From shipsmiths and coopers to woodcarvers and riggers, discover how America’s maritime past shaped life today.
