Dear Friend:

On behalf of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, we invite you to visit one of the largest, state-of-the-art Native American facilities on the eastern seaboard: the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center.  This dynamic learning center was designed to share the proud heritage and legacy of the Pequot people. It is the story of history and culture told from
their perspective.

We are very proud of our state-of-the-art facility. We provide a multi-sensory, immersion experience, filled with interactive exhibits and 85,000 square feet of permanent exhibits. The exhibits are divided into four major areas: Life in a Cold Climate, the Pequot Village, the Pequot War, and Life on the Reservation. Your visit will begin with an exciting journey back in time to 18,000 years ago when the Wisconsin Glacier was shaping the homelands of the Mashantucket people. Each exhibit area moves the visitor forward in time, revealing how Pequot ancestors adapted to a changing environment.

In our Research Libraries, we provide visitors with free access to our extensive collections of Native American literature and reference books, audio recordings, videos, and photographs. We are a designated CEU provider. Both the Public Programs Department and the Research Libraries offer educational workshops. For more information, please call the Museum’s Education Hotline at (860) 396-6839 or (800) 411-9671 ext. 66839.

Students, adults and special interest groups are offered a wide selection of exhibit tours and special hands-on enrichment programs. Experience the living heritage of the Pequot people today. It is an exciting way to learn history, science, archaeology, and language arts. Don’t wait – start planning your journey today!

Sincerely,
