The Wellfleet Historical Society & Museum’s mission is to tell the story of Wellfleet, which we have been proudly doing for 75 years! Through our research, collections, and programs, we bring the History of Wellfleet to life for our community and visitors. We hope you will stop by to experience firsthand the exciting improvements that your support helps make possible. Be sure to take in our special exhibit commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, featuring local artifacts and stories from the Revolutionary War era. Additionally, please consider joining us in working to make this all possible! WHS&M offers a wide variety of Volunteer opportunities! Sign-up here
