Exhibits at WHHM

A Lively Small Museum

The Woods Hole Historical Museum has changing exhibits and diverse programs appealing to people with wide interests. Founded as an adjunct to the Woods Hole Library “to establish and preserve a collection of objects and materials of cultural, historical, and artistic value,” the Museum has grown to a campus of several buildings housing exhibit, workshop, and archival space, as well as becoming an active publisher of works of local and historical interest.

Our Archivist is available to assist with research • 508 548-7270 • whhmarchives@gmail.com.
