Taking a holiday stroll is one way to enjoy the winter wonderland that comes to Connecticut each year. Some head to the mall while others hit the snow-covered trails to spark their festive moods. But what if your annual Christmas walk could take you back in time to 1876 where lanterns lit the way?

Enjoy a moving theatrical performance that is infused with holiday spirit during this guided tour of the charming Mystic Seaport Village. Lantern Light Tours is an annual event that approaches Christmas in a whole new way.
