from wikipedia..
Mystic is a village and census-designated place (CDP) in Groton and Stonington, Connecticut.
Historically, Mystic was a significant Connecticut seaport with more than 600 ships built over 135 years starting in 1784.[2] Mystic Seaport, one of the largest maritime museums in the United States, has preserved a number of sailing ships, such as the whaling ship Charles W. Morgan.[3][4] The village is located on the Mystic River, which flows into Fishers Island Sound and, by extension, Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.[5] The Mystic River Bascule Bridge crosses the river in the center of the village.[6] The name "Mystic" is derived from the Pequot term "missi-tuk" describing a large river whose waters are driven into waves by tides or wind.[7] The population was 4,205 at the 2010 census.[8]
History
Main articles: Pequot War and Mystic massacre
[Mystic River and Mystic Bridge, Connecticut (1879)
Before the 17th century, the Pequot people lived in this portion of southeastern Connecticut.[9] They were in control of a considerable amount of territory, extending toward the Pawcatuck River to the east and the Connecticut River to the west.
To the northwest, the Five Nations of the Iroquois dominated the land linked by the Great Lakes and the Hudson River, allowing trading to occur between the Iroquois and the Dutch. The Pequots were settled just distant enough to be secure from any danger that the Iroquois posed.[10] The Pequot War profoundly affected the Mystic area between 1636 and 1638. In May 1637, captains John Underhill and John Mason led a mission through Narragansett land, along with their allies the Narragansetts and Mohegans, and struck the Pequot Indian settlement in Mystic in the event which came to be known as the Mystic massacre.[11] On September 21, 1638, the colonists signed the Treaty of Hartford, officially ending the Pequot War.[12]

@@AfternooninConnecticut My Navy son is stationed at Groton, CT so we are going out to see him.
Sehr schöne Tour Innenstadt und die Stadt ist sehr toll. Vielen Dank für eine schöne Aufnahmen. Viele Grüße
Thank you very much ❤️😊
Very cool vid! I grew up not far from here as a kid and I haven't been back since around 1993. Nice to see the town again 👍
I love Mystic! I always stop by on my way to Block Island!
Sounds like a Perfect trip! Block island is awesome too! Do you take the ferry from
Point Judith or new London??
@@AfternooninConnecticut I always take my car with me, so I leave out of Point Judith since New London doesn't have the ferry to take vehicles.
Wow I had no idea you had this channel. I've commented before. I love Connecticut. I lived in New London in 06-07 when I worked at Foxwoods. Loved it but went back to AC. Now in Biloxi but nothing like the north east and New England. Tip I tell everyone. Best place for pizza? New Haven. Thank you for the videos.
Thank you! Great to see you on this channel as well! That’s cool you worked at Foxwoods! You have a strong resume! Great times too I’m sure! :) yes we def have good pizza in NH 👍 thanks for hanging with me!
I am a Mainer but Connecticut is amazing! Some of my family is thinking of moving to Mystic!
S and P Oyster is our old standby and we also tried Red 36. Both fantastic food and fantastic views! That new restaurant next to Mystic Pizza that was once a bank looks intriguing. Fun little shops there and Drawbridge Ice Cream 🍦😎
We also enjoyed walking around Stonington, some scenes from Mystic Pizza were shot there too. Very quaint. 🍕🦞🍤
Stonington is lovely! That place next to mystic pizza is a brewery! Not sure if they make beer there or not? Thanks for the recommendations and hanging with me in mystic CT!
I wanna go!!
Another good one, Thanks.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful walk!
I once stayed at the Taber Inn for news year's eve 2020.
Then on New year's day 2021 I said the lord's prayer in Latin on Enders Island 🏝🏝🏝
Thank you 😊 sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing
Great place for a day trip, but needs a few days if you di the Seaport and aquarium. Nearby Stonington is also worth a visit.
More delicious food please
I love Mstic too! The Brew Pub right near Mystic pizza is pretty nice to have a cold beer during the summer. I also tried Red 36 restaurant right next to the mystic river. Food was great and so were the views!
Def have to try both of those places! Thank you for the recommendations!
Thanks for hanging with me in Mystic CT! 😊
Go UConn!
