About Tantaquidgeon Museum

The Tantaquidgeon Museum is the oldest Native American-owned and -operated museum in the United States, founded in 1931 by John Tantaquidgeon and his children. Its unique three-room stone structure, made of native granite, sits on Mohegan Hill. Visitors can explore a dugout canoe, garden mounds, and two bark-covered wigwams outside. Inside, the museum displays artifacts from the 17th century, native-made goods, and a traditional village, sharing the history of the Mohegan people.
