Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center, Native American research center and museum in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
The museum complex spans 308,000 square feet across five levels, featuring multi-sensory exhibits, dioramas, and research facilities dedicated to Native American heritage.
Opened in 1998, the museum was funded through revenues from Foxwoods Resort Casino and cost 193.4 million dollars to construct.
The exhibits include a detailed half-acre recreation of a 1550s Pequot village with life-size figures demonstrating traditional daily activities of the tribe.
The facility maintains two libraries, a gift shop, a restaurant, and operates Wednesday through Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM with varied admission rates.
A 185-foot observation tower provides panoramic views of the Mashantucket Pequot reservation, while a 600-foot photomural depicts the native oak-hickory forest.
