Centennial Celebration
Mystic Bascule Bridge Souvenir Guide
While many think of the Mystic Seaport Museum and the Mystic Aquarium when they think of Mystic, there is no more iconic image of Mystic than the Mystic River Bridge. It not only connects the two sides of the village of Mystic, it connects all of us with the history of Mystic. The Souvenir guide is a handbook of history of the Mystic Bascule Bridge, past and present.

Don't Miss Out!
Written by Marilyn Comrie and Betsy Boucher of the Mystic River Historical Society, the book traces the history of the 6 bridges that have connected Stonington and Groton.
The 100th Anniversary illustration of
the Mystic Bascule Bridge
honors its fine details to each rivet, angle and shadow. The distant Mystic Seaport Museum, riverfront homes and abutting businesses are minimal but maintain detail and color to preserve continuity. The illustration is digitally hand-drawn from a composite of photos but most prominently from the vantage of the bridge tender’s house. The curated selection of beams fade and become abstract to allow for prominent display of the counter balance. Limited Edition 11x17 printed signed by the Artist and Numbered 1 to 100.
Thanks to the All of the Sponsors of the Bridge Anniversary!
