The Marblehead Museum's properties
are located in Marblehead's historic district. More than 200
privately owned colonial period homes and buildings preserve
the unique qualities of this New England fishing port and
harbor.
The Museum's collections
preserve and interpret the local and national importance of
Marblehead -- and its inhabitants -- through programs and
artifacts that span five centuries.
The Museum's exhibits
focus on many aspects of Marblehead's history, drawing from
the MMHS collections as well as outside lenders. Past exhibits
include: Off the Wall: Wallpapers from the Lee Mansion and Show Me a Sign.
See Archive of Past Exhibits. Exhibits change two to three times a year.

The Masons
in Colonial Marblehead
Elbridge Gerry, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was a member. So were General John Glover, Samuel Tucker, William Raymond Lee, and other notable Marbleheaders. These patriots, along with a few Tories, belonged to the Marblehead chapter of the Philanthropic Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons. Learn more.
