Zion Union Heritage Museum

People of color were very important to the whaling and cranberry industries on Cape Cod, as you’ll learn at this fascinating little museum in the former Zion Union Church, a historic African-American church. Displays include artwork and memorabilia reflecting the region’s African-American and Cape Verdean heritage, as well as a range of historic documents about well-known community leaders. There are revolving art shows and other exhibits about the African-American community.
