Downtown Mystic is an exciting place to visit at any time of year – but there’s something even more quiet and peaceful about it when you visit in the winter. In part, it’s due to the smaller crowds you’ll encounter, especially when compared with peak summer crowds. In part, it’s just because of the stillness enjoyed in Mystic at this time of year.
