Located in Orleans, MA, The Orleans Historical Society is a museum intended to educate both locals and travelers about the town's rich history.
There are many collections and exhibits in The Orleans Historical Society, which was founded as a non-profit organization intended to preserve and educate about the community's history.
The museum itself is a historic monument, a Greek Revival building that had been a house long ago. Currently, aside from a museum, this structure doubles as a meeting place for local churches and organizations as well.
The collections housed in The Orleans Historical Society include American Indian artifacts, 20th century photographs, diaries, and even a windmill or two.
The Orleans Historical Society is open from Thursday through Sunday from June - September.
