For those of you who have never visited Mystic Seaport, the Museum represents an 1800’s seaport village.  You’ll see what life was like back then, including some the Scout’s favorite:  the Blacksmith shop, and the rope-making barn.  There are plenty of tall tales told, and ships and shops to explore.  This is truly a great experience for the Scouts (& the parents), and is appropriate for all ages.  Mystic Aquarium and Shopping area are nearby, should you wish to make a weekend of it.

Program Schedule
The Anchor Watch overnight program begins at 6:50 p.m. and continues until approximately 10:00 a.m. the following day. A general program schedule is shown below:

The Taste of History program offers a glimpse into what life in 1876 was like. Taking a nighttime tour of the Seaport, you learn a little about the town and some of the professions of the locals, spend some time aboard a vessel learning about its purpose and learn a little about life aboard ship as well. The tour is followed up with a pizza snack and a sailor's craft. The craft is based on one of many things that sailor's could have done during the downtimes aboard ship. After a good night’s sleep we have breakfast and the rigging climb activity before turning you loose to explore the Seaport for the rest of the day.
