Wow! Amazing!

This museum is extremely interesting and well planned out. The history of the native Americans indigenous to the area is fascinating and well told through two short films and exhibits. But the biggest surprise came when we saw the nearly football sized lifelike village portraying...More

Experience true Pequot history

This museum is much more than a collection of artifacts or art - it is a trip back in time that tells the rich history of a people who are still here - alive and well - and the museum shows you why.

Interesting glimpse into Native American Culture

We went to the museum on a day when there were no school groups and had a wonderful experience. The Pequot "village" seemed to be a good representation. There were enough explanation placards, videos, dioramas and movies to make it interesting without being overwhelming. It...More

A great Experience

I was surprised at what an interesting and exciting museum this is. It brings to life the culture and history of this important Indian tribe. It also brings to life the atrocities that the Native Americans suffered.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

This is by far the BEST Native American Museum in the world!!!! They're created a life-size village and it's completely authentic. I took three children, and they were completely enthralled... as were all of the adults! You're given a "phone" and you punch in numbers...More
