Welcome to the Woods Hole Historical Museum
The Woods Hole Historical Museum (WHHM) was founded in 1974 as an adjunct to the Woods Hole Library “to establish and preserve a collection of objects and materials of cultural, historical, and artistic value.” Since then, the Museum has grown to a campus of several buildings housing exhibits, a boat workshop, and archival space. WHHM also publishes works of local and historical interest. The Museum is open to the public from mid-June to early October.
The Museum offers in-person, self-guided and virtual historic walking tours of Woods Hole village.
