Clip-Clopping Through the Village

Horse-drawn Carriage Ride Mystic Seaport

A horse-drawn carriage is a charming way to see Mystic Seaport's sights.

(c) 2004 Kim Knox Beckius
Of course, as Mystic's shipbuilding industry flourished, so did the village that sprang up along the banks of the Mystic River. Mystic Seaport features a recreated 19-century coastal village. Visitors can explore on foot, of course, but there's something very authentic about riding through the village in a horse-drawn carriage.

The buildings in the village are historic New England structures, and inside, visitors can interact with historians, musicians, storytellers and talented craftspeople who bring seafaring days to life.
