Daffodils at Denison Homestead Museum

Spring has already welcomed us with daffodils blooming at Denison Homestead Museum in Mystic! They usually start blooming around this time of year, late March into early April.

The museum also hosts a Daffodil Festival, which this year will be happening on Saturday April 1, 2023 from 11am-3pm. The festival usually offers tours of the house, crafts for the kids and food and drinks. According to the website here, the daffodil field has over 10,000 flowers!

The daffodil field is in front of the house, so it is visible from the road. I had driven by a few times in last couple weeks to watch the bloom and finally photographed them. I enjoy how this is becoming a spring kick-off tradition in Mystic.

The field is open to the public any time during the day. It’s often quiet so it’s perfect to take photos and enjoy the flowers. If you rather extend your visit there, you can visit the Denison Nature Center across the street. There is 10+ miles of trails through nature to enjoy. Visit the website here for trail maps.

The daffodil field is located at Denison Homestead Museum at 120 Pequotsepos Road Mystic, CT 06355. There is parking available at the nature center (right across the street from museum).
