Mashantucket Pequot Museum

The goal of this museum, which was established to vividly tell the tale of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, is to engage all of the senses. Through dioramas, movies, artwork, interactive programs, historical materials, and a variety of exhibitions, visitors can learn about the history and culture of the Native Americans who lived in the northeast.

Visitors to the museum, which is owned and run by a tribe, express surprise at its size and claim they learned a lot while there, particularly from the reproduction of Pequot Village. The museum, which has both temporary and permanent exhibits, a research center, a 320-seat theatre, classes, a café, archives, and a museum shop, is housed in the 308,000-square-foot building. Two of the museum's five levels are below ground, and the building's architecture was created to blend in with the surroundings. It has a 185-foot stone and glass tower with views of the surrounding swamp and area.

• Ticket prices are $22 for adults and $13 for children.
