Mystic & Eastern CT
Get the camera ready. With clapboard shops, drawbridges, and seafood shacks, Mystic is postcard-perfect.
Although the sea town serves as the anchor for Eastern Connecticut (specifically the northeastern part of the state), other nearby towns like New London, Old Lyme, Niantic, and Essex offer glimpses into early coastal life, while inland are the rolling farmlands, including sunflowers at the Buttonwood Farm in Griswold and steam-powered cider mills like B.F. Clyde’s.
