A building that was first erected c. 1842 as a barn on the property of Thomas Greenman, youngest of the three brothers who founded the George Greenman & Co. Shipyard in Mystic, now houses the cooperage exhibit at Mystic Seaport. Coopers manufactured round wooden containers called barrels or casks, used both at sea and ashore.
