| Rendering of Pequot Village exhibit from project notebook 1993 |
The Mashantucket Museum & Research Center opened its doors in 1998. However, long before the bulldozers arrived and the steel girders went up, members of the Mashantucket Pequot community and many researchers and consultants were thinking about how to tell the story of the Pequots and other Native people of the eastern woodlands. Tribal Council minutes from 1988 reflect planning and discussion related to the museum and possible exhibits.

In
the Archives, there are thousands of pages of research, design ideas, drawings,
and correspondence which reveal the complex process of bringing this dream to
reality. In the coming year, we will be celebrating our history and offering many opportunities for
visitors to learn about how the exhibits came to be, in
addition to our usual array of programs. Join us in 2013!
