  • Hidden gem of history, this is the oldest continuous operating Customs House in US. Hank was a wealth of knowledge and a great tour guide!
  • Wonderful replicas of sailing vessels. Good tour guide. Amazingly built building.
  • This place is outstanding! I mean, where else are you going to actually go into a lighthouse? The staff is amazing and very accommodating, and the passion they have for their lighthouses and the history behind them is palpable. I won't hesitate to return when (not if) I visit Connecticut again!
  • This was great! Our tour guide was friendly, fun/witty, and informative. We were a little nervous about arriving within an hour of closing, but were still greeted warmly and didn't feel rushed through by any means.
  • Lots of interesting items. Very classy. Monthly discussions. Travel opportunity. Boat trips..
