from wikipedia..
Mystic is a village and census-designated place (CDP) in Groton and Stonington, Connecticut.

Historically, Mystic was a significant Connecticut seaport with more than 600 ships built over 135 years starting in 1784.[2] Mystic Seaport, one of the largest maritime museums in the United States, has preserved a number of sailing ships, such as the whaling ship Charles W. Morgan.[3][4] The village is located on the Mystic River, which flows into Fishers Island Sound and, by extension, Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.[5] The Mystic River Bascule Bridge crosses the river in the center of the village.[6] The name "Mystic" is derived from the Pequot term "missi-tuk" describing a large river whose waters are driven into waves by tides or wind.[7] The population was 4,205 at the 2010 census.[8]

History
Main articles: Pequot War and Mystic massacre

[Mystic River and Mystic Bridge, Connecticut (1879)
Before the 17th century, the Pequot people lived in this portion of southeastern Connecticut.[9] They were in control of a considerable amount of territory, extending toward the Pawcatuck River to the east and the Connecticut River to the west.

To the northwest, the Five Nations of the Iroquois dominated the land linked by the Great Lakes and the Hudson River, allowing trading to occur between the Iroquois and the Dutch. The Pequots were settled just distant enough to be secure from any danger that the Iroquois posed.[10] The Pequot War profoundly affected the Mystic area between 1636 and 1638. In May 1637, captains John Underhill and John Mason led a mission through Narragansett land, along with their allies the Narragansetts and Mohegans, and struck the Pequot Indian settlement in Mystic in the event which came to be known as the Mystic massacre.[11] On September 21, 1638, the colonists signed the Treaty of Hartford, officially ending the Pequot War.[12]

Very cool vid! I grew up not far from here as a kid and I haven't been back since around 1993. Nice to see the town again 👍

Wow I had no idea you had this channel. I've commented before. I love Connecticut. I lived in New London in 06-07 when I worked at Foxwoods. Loved it but went back to AC. Now in Biloxi but nothing like the north east and New England. Tip I tell everyone. Best place for pizza? New Haven. Thank you for the videos.

My husband's mother moved to Mystic some years ago, and we spent many times there with her and with family visiting from out of state; my husband and mother-in-law are gone now, and this is such a nostalgic video for me. Thank you! You should definitely go to the Mystic Seaport recreation of an old seafaring village of the 1800s. It's not inexpensive but well worth it. Another must is Olde Mistick Village shopping center.

S and P Oyster is our old standby and we also tried Red 36. Both fantastic food and fantastic views! That new restaurant next to Mystic Pizza that was once a bank looks intriguing. Fun little shops there and Drawbridge Ice Cream 🍦😎
We also enjoyed walking around Stonington, some scenes from Mystic Pizza were shot there too. Very quaint. 🍕🦞🍤

I love Mstic too! The Brew Pub right near Mystic pizza is pretty nice to have a cold beer during the summer. I also tried Red 36 restaurant right next to the mystic river. Food was great and so were the views!
