TheMystic Bridge Historic District is a historic district in the village ofMystic, Connecticut on theStonington side of theMystic River. It includes theMystic Seaport Museum, whose grounds and floating vessels represent the area's history, and the 1924Mystic River Bascule Bridge. The district is significant as a well-preserved shipbuilding and maritime village of the 19th and early 20th centuries,^[2] and it was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1979.^[1]

Mystic developed in the early 19th century as a small seaport and shipbuilding center, businesses that were mostly located on the eastern shore of theMystic River. The village is divided between the towns ofStonington andGroton, Connecticut.

Brothers George, Clark, and Thomas Greenman founded the George Greenman & Co. shipyard and built theirGreek Revival style houses on the grounds. Their shipyard was one of the village's largest, and now serves as the grounds of theMystic Seaport Museum. The museum still uses some of the buildings for their original purposes. This section of Mystic became known as "Greenmanville", as the brothers owned and operated the shipyard, a textile mill, and a company store. They also managed nearby farms and rented out housing to their workers. The Greenmans wereSeventh Day Baptists, celebrating theSabbath on Saturday, and the shipyard's schedule reflected that. The industrial village prospered from the 1840s to the 1890s, after which it declined, as wooden ships gave way to those built of iron and steel.^[2][3]
