Museum Directory Website: https://mashpeewampanoagtribe-nsn.gov/museum Address: 414 Main St, Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 Phone: 508-477-0208 Email: publicrelations@mwtribe-nsn.gov The museum building is one of the oldest remaining homesteads in Mashpee, built in 1793 by the great grandson of missionary Richard Bourne. Through the door of the Museum the history and culture of the Wampanoag from the Stone Age to the present is carefully detailed through a range of exhibits. First established under the guidance of the Mashpee Historical Commission, the Museum is the only one in existence devoted exclusively to Wampanoag history. The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Museum was a dream, then a passion of Amelia Peters Bingham, in which she saw the opportunity to highlight the rich indigenous culture and historic significance of the Town of Mashpee, on Cape Cod, known as the Land of the Wampanoag. The idea also coincided with the 100th anniversary of the 1870 incorporation of the Town of Mashpee. The Native Community embraced the concept of self-determination to show the world who we are and how we survived the conquest of America. The Bourne-Avant house situated on Snake Pond Road, also known as Main Street or Route 130, was chosen as an ideal historic structure to start this small museum. This building is one of the oldest remaining homesteads located near the historic center of town, adjacent to the Mashpee River and the Herring Run across from the Mill Pond and within close proximity to the Mashpee Wakeby Lake. It was originally built approximately 1793 by Sherjashub Bourne, great grandson of the missionary Richard Bourne. The Museum is the geographic core of the Mashpee Wampanoag people. Eighty-five percent of Wampanoag people live within 20 miles of the Museum. Hours: Mon. Closed Tue. Closed Wed. Closed Thu. Closed Fri. Closed Sat. Closed Sun.

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. 61 Whig Street, Dennis, MA, USA

Museum Directory Bourne Historical Society Website: http://www.bournehistoricalsociety.org/ Address: 30 Keene St, Bourne, Massachusetts 02532 Phone: 508-759-8167 Email: bournehistoricalsociety@comcast.net The society was incorporated as a non-profit organization December 29, 1921, for the purpose of acquiring the site of the first trade house built in 1627, by Plymouth Colony, located on the south bank of the Manomet (Monument) River, which is now part of the Cape Cod Canal. The Pilgrims traded with the Natives and the Dutch from New Amsterdam (New York City), thus having a source of income by which their debt to the London backers of their expedition to the New World could be repaid. To stimulate interest, a historical exhibition was held and donations were received, enabling the Society to purchase the lot of land on which two cellar holes were located, marking the site of the trade house. In 1926, President Percival Lombard and Vice President Nathan Bourne Hartford uncovered the complete foundations and many interesting relics. Additional lots were purchased, bringing the total to about 12 acres. The structure existing today is a replica erected on the original foundation. With the signing of the first private commercial contract in English-speaking North America, Aptucxet became the first private commercial enterprise using a local currency known as wampum, and launched what is now the world’s leading economic force: the American Free Enterprise System. Wampum is a polished fragment of a hard-shell clam usually containing a purple color, and shaped in a cylindrical form. The local Native Americans called these clams quahogs (pronounced kwo-hogs), and making the wampum required a great amount of effort and skill. The Jonathan Bourne Historic Center is now open to the public by appointment. Please call (508) 759-8167 or email BourneHistoricalSociety@comcast.net prior to arrival. Aptucxet Trading Post Museum Complex is open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, 10am - 4pm Memorial Day Weekend through Columbus Day Weekend.

Museum Directory Jonathon Bourne Historical Center Website: https://www.bournehistoricalsociety.org/historic-center Address: 30 Keene Street, Bourne, Massachusetts 02532 Phone: 508-759-8167 Email: bournehistoricalsociety@comcast.net The Jonathan Bourne Historical Center was built in 1897 by Emily Howland Bourne as a town library and as a memorial to her father, Jonathan Bourne for whom the town was named. She chose this location as his birthplace could be seen on the northeast side of the Manomet River; the house was destroyed during the digging of the canal in 1913. Jonathan was one of 10 children and at the age of 17 left home for New Bedford. He prospered and became the town’s most successful owner of whaling ships. In 1884 he was a state legislator, and when the western half of Sandwich petitioned the Commonwealth for separation as a town, he was helpful on their behalf. The leaders showed their appreciation by naming the new town in his honor. Thus in 1884 the newest town on Cape Cod came from the oldest town, Sandwich. Jonathan’s ancestor was the Rev. Richard Bourne, the first preacher to the Indians. The Jonathan Bourne Historical Center is a notable example of the skill of the Boston architect Henry Vaughn. The 1897 structure originally served as the Bourne Town Library and overlooks the Cape Cod Canal. It is a fine example of American Colonial English Renaissance) style featuring yellow tapestry brick and red slate roof construction along with large Palladian windows. A handsome stained glass window depicting “St. Michael and the Dragon” by Clayton & Bell of London, England graces the reading room. The Bourne Historical Society and two town committees, the Bourne Historical Commission and the Bourne Archives are housed in the Jonathan Bourne Historical Center. Hours: Mon. Closed Tue.

Museum Directory Chatham Railroad Museum Website: https://www.chathamrailroadmuseum.com/ Address: 153 Depot Rd, Chatham, Massachusetts 02633 Phone: (508) 945-5780 The Chatham Railroad Museum was founded in 1960, following the donation of the vacant depot building and land to the Town of Chatham by Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Cox of Cleveland, Ohio and Chatham, MA. At the suggestion of the Chatham Chamber of Commerce, a railroad museum was created in the building under the leadership of Mr. Frank Love, a retired New York Central Railroad executive. Mr Love, who became the museum’s first director, canvassed sixty-two American railroad presidents requesting items of interest for the museum. Over its fifty year existence the museum has continued to collect thousands of railroad artifacts including original and operating Western Union telegraph equipment, lanterns, badges, signs, tools, timetables, menus and passes, promotional literature, original paintings and prints, calendars, a six hundred volume library and a restored 1910 wood sided caboose. The New York Central locomotive outside the museum was actually used at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. The Chatham Railroad Museum is located in the beautifully restored 1887 railroad depot that served Chatham residents and visitors for nearly fifty years. Featuring an architectural style called Railroad Gothic, the building contains hundreds of exhibits and the New York Central model locomotives used at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. The museum is child friendly and includes a 1910 restored wood caboose available for children and adults to explore. Popular with children and railroad enthusiasts, the wood sided red caboose is located on the track side of the Chatham Railroad Museum. Constructed during 1910, in the New York Central shops, the caboose traveled over 1 million miles at the end of freight trains running between New York City and Chicago, ILL. The caboose has been fully restored with the lockers, conductor’s desk and cupola intact. An audio system provides the realistic sounds of a train rolling along the track with a whistle blowing and brakes squealing at stops.

Museum Directory Taylor Bray Farm Museum Website: https://www.taylorbrayfarm.org/ Address: 108 Bray Farm Road North, Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts 02675 Phone: 774-251-1869 Native people inhabited at least part of the property. Around 1640, European colonization that had begun in Plymouth in 1620, had spread to this portion of Cape Cod. Whether you are a Cape Cod native, a recent wash-ashore or vacationing on the Cape, a visit to Taylor-Bray Farm is well worthwhile. The Farm has been here since the days of the Plymouth Colony so needless to say, there is history here but that's not all. Take a look around; there's a lot to see and do. Start at the late 18th century Taylor farmhouse. The house was built by Samuel Taylor some time after he returned from service in the Revolutionary War. The house has recently been renovated and furnished with period pieces and is now open to the public. There are picnic tables near the farmhouse should you like to use them. We have animals. It is a farm, after all. The friendliest animals have to be Rusty and Dusty, our goats. Scotty and Fiona, Scottish Highland cattle are out in the pasture. Despite their size, they are quite gentle but with those long horns, you don't want to get too close. Maybe some day, you'll get a ride in the donkey cart we're training Sam and Nestor to pull. We have a flock of chickens too. And of course, there are the sheep. Come visit all of them. Kids love them, especially in spring when the new lambs arrive. After you have seen the animals, walk out the boardwalk into Black Flats Marsh. This is largely what Richard and Ruth Taylor saw when they first established this isolated farm in 1639. The Chapin Beach dunes are to the west or left and beyond them, Cape Cod Bay. The Town of Dennis, once part of Yarmouth, is on the far side of the marsh. In the spring or summer, you may see osprey nesting on a platform in the marsh about 100 yards to the north of the boardwalk. Come around for a farm festival. The Sheep Festival is in June. Watch our sheep being sheared and Border Collies herd the sheep. In October, enjoy the Fall Festival for hayrides, cider and pumpkins. In December, come to the farm for your Christmas tree and other holiday goodies. While this area has been a farm for almost four centuries, it has been inhabited far longer than that. Ongoing archaeological work reveals that the site has been seasonally inhabited for as much as 10,000 years. More fieldwork is planned to further our knowledge of the early farm, its residents and the native people who have inhabited the area for so long. We welcome volunteers to join in the work; visit the Archaeology page to learn how you can help. The farm is open daily, dawn to dusk. There are no fees at the farm but your donations for care of animals on the farm would be greatly appreciated. Hours: Mon. 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM Tue. 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM Wed. 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM Thu. 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM Fri. 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM Sat. 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM Sun. 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM 108 Bray Farm Road North, Yarmouth Port, MA, USA
