Why You Should Go...

Visit the Pequot Museum and time travel 20,000 years into the past.

Tribally owned and operated since it opened on August 11, 1998, the museum is the largest Native American museum globally. It serves as a significant resource on the histories and cultures of Native Americans in the northeast and on the region's rich natural history.

Explore the Pequot Museum's over 85,000 square feet of exhibition space. Descend a glacier to learn about the last Ice Age and explore a diorama of a caribou hunt 11,000 years ago.

Experience life in a 16th-century woodland Pequot village and a 17th-century Pequot fort and walk outdoors to the 18th-century farmstead set on two acres of orchards and gardens.

Learn about what life was like on and off the reservation from the late 1600s to the 1980s and sit in one of the museum's six theaters that feature films on the Pequot War, creation stories, toolmaking, the history of Wampum, federal recognition, and the "Almost Vanished" documentary.
