Museum Directory

The West Dennis Graded School is the only one surviving of the town’s original five graded school buildings. It now houses a replica of an 1860’s schoolroom. The building is also home to the Dennis Maritime Museum, with displays related to the town’s extensive seagoing history, highlighting local sea captains, their ships, their tales and their navigational tools.

These museums are seasonal (generally July and August), with occasional special exhibits during the Summer season. Please click on our website link for additional information including museum location details, opening dates and times, and schedules of special events.

Group tours of any size can be arranged at any of our museums outside of our normal operating hours for a nominal fee; please contact us at info@dennishistoricalsociety.org to schedule.
