Mystic Places Offers Quintessential New England In A Nutshell
MYSTIC, CT — The elegant spire of a white frame church above the village green, tumbling stone walls rambling through forests of maple and pine, sailing ships in clzy clastal harbors, the rich high polish of gleaming antiques, dinner before a roaring fire, the brilliance of autumn leaves and the poignant, breathtaking beauty of spring — these are some of the indelible images of New England, and all of them can be found in Mystic Places.
For people in the United States and around the world, this remarkable landscape — a birthplace of American history and culture, a region of astonishing natural beauty and stuningly picturesque towns and villages — means, in many ways, everything that is America. From its earliest settlers thousands of years before the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock to the newest high-tech industry and computer technology, the Mystic Places region represents New England in a nutshell.
Mystic Places is where many of the photographs that have defined New England were taken: four seasons of astonishing beauty; whole villages of mint condition 17th and 18th century architecture; bucolic hills and valleys; three-mast schooners and racing sloops; the rocky, sandy sparkling coastline of inlets, coves and bays; country inns, B&Bs and dining that transport the guest into a bygone era of gracious hospitality -- the pictures are endless.
Complementing these attractions and activities are year-round recreational opportunities ranging from golf, tennis, fishing, boating and ice skating to spectator sports, sleigh rides and the facilities and extraordinary landscapes of more than a dozen state parks.
