Established in 1955, the Historical Society of San

Established in 1955, the Historical Society of Santuit & Cotuit (HSSC) is committed to preserving Cotuit's heritage.
📜
Our mission is to acquire, preserve, interpret and exhibit collections of historical interest to the villages of Cotuit and Santuit, while providing educational and cultural experiences that reflect the spirit and traditions of our community.
📜
The HSSC grounds hold the Dottridge Homestead, the Cotuit Museum and attached Fire Museum, the Cotuit Archives, the Rothwell Ice House, Cotuit Museum Shop and Historical Kitchen Gardens. The buildings are open weekends from Memorial Day through Christmas. The archives are available for research, and the Homestead and museums are available for private tours by appointment.
📜
HSSC is a 501 C3 organization located in the heart of Cotuit. The structure of the Society includes a volunteer Board of Directors. We employ two permanent part time staffers (Administrator and Gift Shop Manager) along with two financial consultants on an as needed basis.
📜
Back in the 1950s, Mrs. Nita Crawford inherited the Samuel Dottridge Homestead and used it as the laundry for her historic hotel, The Pines. After there was no longer a need for the house, she embarked on an ambitious project to reconstruct the Samuel Dottridge Homestead on the corner of Main Street and Shell Lane to its original condition and make it the headquarters for HSSC. She asked her neighbors, friends, and local residents to search their attics, cellars, barns, and storerooms for anything that was used between 1800-1850. Dinner and dessert parties with formal invitations were among the many ways Mrs. Crawford raised enough funds to fully reconstruct the Homestead to an authentic dwelling of that time period. On June 13, 1964, 10 years after the Historical Society of Santuit & Cotuit was established, the doors to the Homestead were open to the public for the first time.
📜
60 years later the Homestead has remained the headquarters of HSSC, growing to include a museum featuring Cotuit and Cape Cod history, the Cotuit Fire Museum, and a reproduction of a 19th century ice house. We have been able to continue flourishing as a Society and Museum as a result

Have you been to the Cultural Center of Cape Cod?

Have you been to the Cultural Center of Cape Cod?
🖼
Their mission is to serve the entire Cape community and visitors to the area by offering instruction, entertainment, and exhibition in the visual, literary, and performing arts.
🖼
Programming at the Center reflects real needs and priorities which are echoed in our motto – All the Arts for All of Us – and embodied in the diversity of the opportunities offered throughout a campus that boasts 5 galleries, 5 resident artist studios, a performance hall, a gift shop, and an Education Wing that features a Culinary Arts Center, Recording Studio, Pottery Studio, Makerspace, Digital Arts Studio, and other assets, especially for under-served populations
🖼
Our calendar of events, exhibits, and educational opportunities engages people of all ages, abilities, and incomes. And we support both emerging and established artists in all media and genres.
🖼
The Center has received several awards, including an Adaptive Reuse award from the MA Historical Commission, a Community Impact Award from the Town of Yarmouth, and a Community Leadership in the Arts Award (selected by other non-profits across the region). It is involved in regional and state-wide arts advocacy efforts and is widely recognized as a leader in both the arts and community development.
🖼
Everything that happens at the Cultural Center is predicated upon a democratic philosophy of inclusion, encouragement, and accessibility. Its performance and exhibition schedules feature a balance of both emerging and established artists. Flexible teachers lead classes for a range of ages and abilities. Prices are reasonable, and scholarships are available for those without the means to pay. Exhibits, receptions, and many other events are free. And programs for under-served populations like youth at risk—in partnership with leaders in the social services, government, and education—provide meaningful antidotes to unhealthy behaviors. Both the breadth and depth of its programming make the Center a strong and vibrant resource for the entire region.
🖼
Be sure to check out their events, classes, kids classes, on-site galleries, and much more!

Founded in 1993 and incorporated as a non-profit charitable organization in 1995, Cotuit Center for the Arts has grown into an award-winning and dynamic arts and cultural hub serving Cape Cod, Southeastern Massachusetts, and beyond. We host more than 35,000 visitors yearly for free and paid programming in our gallery, main theater, black box theater, and classrooms, and we serve local populations of disabled teens and adults and incarcerated youth through our outreach programs.

We collaborate with local artists, musicians, actors, performers, teachers, volunteers, and the occasional celebrity to provide a rich experience to our audiences and attendees all year long.
🎭
Our calendar is jam-packed — an average week at the Center juggles an average of 120 hours of programming across ten schedulable locations on campus. From rehearsals to meetings to classes to performances, we are always buzzing with activity. A typical year will feature 8 Mainstage theater productions, 11 Black Box shows, 40 or so class offerings, 12 Gallery installations, and 41 special events from concerts to student collaborations, annual festivals to talent showcases, craft fairs to magic shows.

‘Tis the season to be outside and enjoy nature.

‘Tis the season to be outside and enjoy nature. We may still be in a pandemic, but let’s make the season a bit more fun. Stroll by Gingerbread Lane up at the Harbor Overlook for some great holiday photo opportunities. We may not have our tradition local shopping, however it’s a great way to get out and enjoy a little holiday spirit. Make sure if you take photo to tag @artsbarnstable. We would love to see your joy and holiday cheer!

The mission of the Cape Cod Museum of Natural Hist

The mission of the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History is to inspire appreciation, understanding and stewardship of our natural environment and wildlife through discovery and learning.
🌼
The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History integrates the three strands of its organizational identity - as museum of natural history, nature education center, and steward of conservation land.
As a small museum of natural history, we will preserve, exhibit, and interpret our own collections of natural history artifacts and display relevant traveling and loan exhibits. We may also collaborate with local and regional organizations on co-sponsored exhibits.
🌼
As a nature education center, we will engage children and adults in high-quality programs, classes, lectures, panel discussions, workshops, films, walks, field trips, traditions and interactive exhibits that reveal the many facets of the natural world and the reciprocal impacts that humans and nature exert on each other. As befits a nature education center, we will explore our potential as a center for citizen scientists and amateur naturalists, and as a forum for informed discussion of important issues related to the natural world, especially on Cape Cod.
🌼
As a steward of 400-plus acres of museum-owned land in Stony Brook Valley and Brewster conservation land adjacent to the museum, including Wing's Island, the salt marsh, and the beach along Cape Cod Bay between Quivett and Paine's Creeks, we will monitor and protect the land and focus our programming on its varied habitats - our outdoor classroom and teaching tool. Programs may also take place elsewhere on Cape Cod and in New England when appropriate.
🌼
Adults (ages 13-64) $10.00
Seniors (age 65+) $10.00
Children (ages 3-12) $5.00
Children (age 2 and under) FREE
MA Teachers w/current MTA card FREE
Active Military and Immediate Family FREE
Veterans with ID FREE
