ABOUT US

Since the Eastham Historical Society’s founding in 1963, the Society has been committed to preserving Eastham’s past for Eastham’s future by preserving, sharing and partnering with our community.  Our vision is to create a place where Eastham History Comes to Life for residents and visitors alike.

Exciting News! The 1869 Schoolhouse Museum is getting a new "restored" wing!

A Restored Wing for the Eastham Historical Society’s Schoolhouse Museum means our stories can be more easily shared and celebrated.  Help us tell our stories by supporting the EHS HISTORY LIVES project.
