Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center

Pequot Museum is located in an ancient cedar forest minutes away from Foxwoods Resort Casino. This innovative, interactive, award-winning museum is the largest Native American museum in the world. Tribally owned-and-operated since it opened on Aug. 11, 1998, the Museum brings to life the story of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. It serves as a major resource on the histories and cultures of Native Americans in the northeast and on the region's rich natural history. The research center houses collections, archives, and archaeology and conservation laboratories.
