Museum Directory Eastham Historical Society Website: https://www.easthamhistoricalsociety.org/ Address: 25 Schoolhouse Road, Eastham, Massachusetts 02642 Phone: (508) 255-0788 Email: easthamhistorical@verizon.net The Eastham Historical Society maintains museums at the 1741 Swift-Daley complex located at 2375 State Highway in Eastham and at the 1869 Schoolhouse Museum, located at 25 Schoolhouse Road. In addition, they operate the Ranlett Tool Museum, Dill Beach Camp and The Olde Gift Shop. In 1859, the Swift-Daley house was occupied by Nathaniel Swift, who with his brother Gustavus of North Eastham, soon moved to Chicago and founded the Swift meat packing empire. The 1869 Schoolhouse Museum is located at 25 Schoolhouse Road at the intersection with Nauset Road across from the National Seashore Visitor Center. It is housed in a one-room schoolhouse built in 1869. The original and remaining one of the three schoolhouses consolidated on that site in 1906, it served the town until 1936 when the last pupils moved to a newer building. The old building stood abandoned until 1963 when the newly-formed Eastham Historical Society looked about for a place to house the town’s historical treasures. The school building, then well on its way to decrepitude, was purchased, restored, and became a museum. In 2008 a new museum addition was opened. The museum displays objects from the various facets of the town’s history including farming, shipwrecks, the Life Saving Service, Native American artifacts, the school and daily life in town. The schoolroom, now a children’s “hands on” museum complete with its original schoolmaster’s desk, is furnished to replicate how it looked in earlier days. Children of all ages are encouraged to sit at the desks, look at the books and “play school.” 1869 School House & Museum ( 25 Schoolhouse Rd ) Open by appointment.

Events The Provincetown Print: A PAAM Documentary by Amy Davies Join us for The Provincetown Print, a captivating new documentary by Amy Davies from PAAM celebrating the origins, artistry, and enduring legacy of Provincetown’s distinctive white-line woodcut tradition. “The Provincetown Print” tells the story of the creation of an American art form, the white-line woodblock print. At the beginning of WWI, a small group of expatriate artists returned to the United States and settled in the artist community of Provincetown, Massachusetts. Together, they developed the colorful white line printmaking process that is still practiced today. Artists and Provincetown Print historians William Evaul and Kathryn Lee Smith appear in the film with PAAM CEO Christine McCarthy, artist Lennie Alickman, art historian James Bakker, and Blanche Lazzell expert Robert Bridges. Local musician Anne Stott composed the score with an additional track by Jon Evans. Location: JFK Hyannis Museum Co-Hosted with Provincetown Art Association and Museum This event is free, please RSVP on their website: https://jfkhyannismuseum.org/event/paam/ Date and Time: December 16, 6 PM Cost: Free Place: John F.
