What began as a two-room home around 1675 evolved into a pre-Revolutionary War tavern; by 1776, it was the elegant home of a local patriot that has since been lovingly restored by the Society of the Founders of Norwich. The house is furnished with Early American artifacts, and interpreters explain the architecture of the house and the lifestyle of those who lived or frequented the home over the centuries.
The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut, known as Wolf People, opened this casino just south of Norwich in 1996; today, it has more than 300,000 square feet of gaming space in three casino areas, totaling nearly 5,000 slot machines and more than 300 gaming tables. Also part of the complex: the Kids Quest/Cyber Quest family entertainment center, a shopping mall with 32 retail stores, 43 dining options, 19 bars and lounges, and two high-rise luxury hotels—each with a pool and a full-service spa.
The 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena, home to the WNBA's Connecticut Sun, draws major performances, with bands playing the in-casino Wolf Den venue nearly every night. Comix Roadhouse presents comedy acts, and country music, and the 175,000-square-foot Earth Expo & Convention Center holds events. Photo opportunities abound, including the glowing crystal mountain at the heart of the Casino of the Sky.
