Why go

The state historic site gives the city’s 1670 origins a physical setting. Start with the visitor exhibits, then follow the self-guided history trail toward the river and the Adventure replica vessel. The Animal Forest adds a nature stop, but the grounds involve enough walking to shape most of a half day.

What to look for

  • The history trail crosses the early settlement landscape.
  • Adventure recreates a 17th-century trading vessel.
  • The Animal Forest adds a habitat walk.

Useful to know

  • Begin at the visitor center to orient the outdoor walk.
  • The replica ship has separate seasonal maintenance and Tuesday limits; confirm that part before making it your main reason to go.
