About Eastham 1869 Schoolhouse Museum
The 1869 Schoolhouse Museum is housed in a former schoolhouse that grew from one room in 1869 to three wings by 1909, restored to its historic footprint. Visitors can explore a vintage schoolroom with original furnishings, dress in period costumes, and engage in "play school." The Eastham History Wing tells the story of Eastham from its first people to maritime heritage, including an exhibit on Henry Beston. A third wing offers insights into community life, transportation, and genealogy resources.
