The Pequot Museum, located in an ancient cedar forest minutes, is the largest Native American museum of its kind in the world. This museum brings to life the history and culture of the Northeastern Woodland tribes in general and the Pequots in particular with exquisite detail. Highlights include views of an 18,000-year-old glacial crevasse, a caribou hunt from 11,000 years ago, and a 17th-century fort. Perhaps most remarkable is a sprawling "immersion environment": a 16th-century village with more than 50 life-size figures and real smells and sounds. This museum is tribally owned and operated.
