WHS&M Board of Directors and community members witness the backhoe jaws devour and remove the crumbling front portion of the middle section of the museum. The portion that had been a painting studio for artist John Mulcahy for years was taken down and removed. Mulcahy passed away ten years ago and his paintings and personal energy are missed here in Wellfleet.

We are very excited about the renovation project currently underway. The community witnessed the restoration of the facades at 266, 258 and 262 Main Street into one continuous building with original mid-century color and appearance. The Period Garden returned with additional landscaping, making the building an attractive and welcoming feature to the entrance to downtown. The new open space and restored façade of the WHS&M remind us of days gone by.
