Artifacts

The Wellfleet Historical Society & Museum accepts a wide variety of materials and artifacts related to the history and culture of Wellfleet to use for exhibitions, research, and hands-on education. WHS&M follows the ethical guidelines for acquiring artifacts established by the American Alliance of Museums. WHS&M reviews every donation offer to determine if it supports our mission, meets our collection criteria, and whether we have the means to properly preserve, care for, and display the item.

We would love to talk with you to find out more about your piece of history. Please contact Museum Curator David Wright, david@wellfleethistoricalsociety.org or 508-349-9157
