Pequot Museum . . .


Kiddo and I went to the Pequot Museum today. It's really quite inexpensive and we had an interesting time. It was only $13 for the both of us. What he really, really liked was going up the elevator to the top of the 20 story Tower! We had to do that first thing and couldn't leave until we went up once more! The museum has a Pequot village that is very life like and we enjoyed seeing the wigwams, canoes, farming, hunting and fishing scenes. We pushed almost every button we could find and watched parts of many, many movies! We stopped by the cafeteria but after checking it out the kiddo decided we should go to McD's. Our stop at the gift shop was short and cheap! The Mashantucket-Pequots must be losing money on the museum. They have a beautiful children's library and a research department. I really didn't get a chance to look into anything for too long so perhaps I'll go back one day just to take my time and really try to get an idea of the lives of the Pequots in Connecticut.
