Woods Hole Historical Collection

Frommer's Review

Exhibits change at this small but charming museum. The permanent 1895 diorama of the town should give you the former flavor of this combination seaport/scientific community and tourist destination. The neighboring barn shelters a Small Boat Museum including an Old Town canoe, a Cape Cod "knockabout," a Herreshoff 12 1/2, and a fine example of a "spritsail" boat. There's also the reconstructed 1893 hobby workshop of a local doctor. To delve into town lore in more detail, reserve a place on one of the free walking tours offered Tuesdays at 4pm in July and August.
