Museum Directory Josiah Dennis Manse Museum & West Schoolhouse Website: https://www.dennishistoricalsociety.org/museums/josiah-dennis-manse-museum-0 Address: 61 Whig St, Dennis, Massachusetts 02638 Phone: (508) 385-2232 Email: info@dennishistoricalsociety.org Seeking Volunteers! You can volunteer by sending your contact information to info@dennishistoricalsociety.org . or by visiting the Manse on an afternoon it is open. There is usually a docent for each room who has been provided with information relevant to its history and furnishings. Training is simple. The room history is in written form, with observing or shadowing experienced docents all part of the training. There are period costumes available to add to the ambiance. A simple skirt or slack outfit is also suitable. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Both museums are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They are owned by the Town of Dennis and managed by a Select Board appointed committee. Their furnishings and collections are owned by the Dennis Historical Society. They have ADA entry, and docents in period costume who guide you through the history of each room. The Josiah Dennis Manse, a two-story salt box, end chimney or half house, was built ca. 1700. An addition on the west side, in 1736, turned it into a complete house with a center entrance. In the early 1900s the rear summer kitchen, now a Maritime Room, was added. Major preservation and stabilization in 2010, funded by the Town of Dennis Community Preservation Fund, saved the home. In 1728, the people of the East Precinct of Yarmouth provided this house to their first minister, Rev. Josiah Dennis, who served them until his death in 1763. The East Precinct was incorporated in 1793 as a town called Dennis, named in honor of the man who shepherded their souls, during a time of colonial rule. The Manse offers a view of Dennis history from the colonial period to the end of the age of sail. West Schoolhouse was rebuilt in 1810, on the site of the original ca. 1745 Nobscusset neighborhood schoolhouse. This timber frame school was designed and constructed by Nathan Stone, Jr., son of the second minister of the East Precinct. He was a Boston apprenticed house-wright, who had attended the original one room schoolhouse. Ca. 1850, American education developed a graded school system. Falling into disrepair, the one room schoolhouse was moved across the King’s Highway for use as a barn and then transformed into a Cape Cod style gift shop. In 1973, condo development threatened demolition and it was moved to the grounds of the Josiah Dennis Manse to become a museum of colonial and early American education. A Town of Dennis Community Fund grant provided major structural preservation and stabilization in 2023. We are typically open June 29-August 26, 1 PM-4 PM; September Saturdays only, 1 PM-4 PM. 61 Whig Street, Dennis, MA, USA
