Bangs Hallet House Tour

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the centerpiece of the Society’s properties, this home is a stately, fully-furnished sea captain’s home, circa 1840. It is the only one like it on Cape Cod regularly open to the public, providing an intimate glimpse into how sea captains’ families lived and entertained in the Victorian era.

The home is arranged as if Captain Hallet was just returning from one of his many voyages to China and features period furnishings, silk, porcelain, and other antique pieces plus an extensive maritime exhibit.

Knowledgeable docents lead guided tours and relate lively stories of Yarmouth captains’ hair-raising adventures at sea during the Golden Age of Sail when clipper ships helped open the world to international trade on a global scale and made Cape Cod sea captains famous.

Reservations are suggested (even for those with free admission)!

Please note, the museum does not meet accessibility standards due to age and preservation of the building and surrounding property.

Located at 11 Strawberry Lane, just off the Old King’s Highway (Route 6A) on the Yarmouth Port Common.
