ABOUT US

Since the Eastham Historical Society’s founding in 1963, the Society has been committed to preserving Eastham’s past for Eastham’s future by preserving, sharing and partnering with our community. Our vision is to create a place where Eastham History Comes to Life for residents and visitors alike.

With the completion of the new "restored" wing, we now need your help to add new interactive and accessible features to the 1869 Schoolhouse Museum.

New interactive and accessible features will add to your experience when you visit. We don't charge for admission, so your generosity is critical to finishing the project to share and celebrate our stories.
