Woods Hole Historical Museum

The Woods Hole Historical Museum preserves and shares the rich history of Woods Hole through exhibitions, educational programs, and community engagement, fostering a deeper understanding of the area's cultural heritage.

Navigating the Next 50 Years!&nbsp;A celebration of five decades preserving and sharing the rich history of Woods Hole. Join us at a private seaside residence in Woods Hole; parking location information provided upon purchase of tickets. Enjoy an elegant waterfront evening at Easterly, featuring light fare, an open beer, wine &amp; soft drink bar, special museum artifacts, silent auction, a celebratory group photo, and the company of friends who share a passion for Woods Hole and its stories. IMPORTANT Ticket Purchase Note: The Woods Hole Historical Museum receives 100% of your ticket purchase. During checkout, Zeffy&mdash;the secure, free platform we use for ticketing&mdash;will suggest an optional contribution (essentially a tip) to support their&nbsp;service. This contribution does not go to the Museum and may be changed to any amount, including $0, before completing your purchase. The amount of the optional tip you may or may not elect to give Zeffy will be added to the amount you pay WHHM, just as a tip would be added at a restuarant.Questions?
