The welcome event for the 2023 Annual Meeting of the New England Political Science Association is

a private after-hours guided tour of Mystic Seaport Museum.  Mystic Seaport Museum is a living history

museum which offers an authentic, one-of-a-kind view of America’s maritime heritage and tells the many

stories of how our lives connect to the sea. The vibrant 19-acre campus, right on the Mystic River, includes

a recreated New England seafaring village, four historic vessels, including the Charles W. Morgan (the last

wooden whaleship in the world), formal ever-changing exhibitions, and a renowned preservation shipyard.

​

We will meet at the north entrance to the Seaport, which is just over one mile from the hotel; tour-goers need

to arrange their own transportation.  Our tour will depart PROMPTLY at 5:45 PM, so tour-goers are strongly

advised to get to the Seaport early.  The tour will finish at approximately 7:00 PM. 

​

Please be advised that a boat ride is part of the tour, and that the tour will occur RAIN OR SHINE.

​

Tickets for the tour are $15, and there is limited availability.  They must be purchased in advance by clicking below.
