A lifelong local sailor and longtime museum leader, Chris has spent years championing coastal heritage, maritime education, and community engagement throughout southeastern Connecticut.Founded in 1929, Mystic Seaport Museum is the nation’s premier maritime museum—home to historic vessels like the 1841 whaleship Charles W. Morgan, a working preservation shipyard, and hands-on education that connects all of us to our seafaring history.Here’s how you can help give back: $1 from every pour between 4–8 PM goes directly to Mystic Seaport Museum. 100% of all tips generated during the event will be donated straight to their mission.Bring a friend, grab a fresh pint, chat with Chris, and help us raise a glass to keeping our local maritime history afloat! <img alt="⚓️" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t87/1/16/2693.png">

Rustic-chic private farm venue in scenic Stonington, CT 

Deans Mill Farm 

Built in the mid-1700s as a functioning livestock farm, Deans Mill Farm has gone through an evolution in recent decades. A full renovation of the historic buildings and rejuvenation of the surrounding 70+ acres has made the property into the incredible venue it is today. Deans Mill Farm now operates primarily as a private event space and five-room bed and breakfast tucked down a private road in Stonington, Connecticut. It shares its property with Dragonfly Equestrian Center and is home to dozens of horses. On the property lies meadows, hiking trails, beautiful fields and Dragonfly Disc Golf. The property can be rented for weddings, birthday parties and other special events. Additionally, the bed and breakfast can be rented by the room or reserved in its entirety for complete privacy. The Farm has the ability to host small private indoor events for up to 50 guests in the Farmhouse. Outdoor tented events are our specialty, with numerous locations on-site that are picturesque for your celebration. Outdoor tented celebrations can accommodate up to 250 guests.
