Eat, Chat and Learn at the Centerville Historical Museum!

Named the #1 ‘Hidden Gem’ Museum in MA

Join the Renaissance group for a delicious, hearty soup lunch, interesting lecture and private docent-led tour of the museum – all in one afternoon!

Author Nancy Viall Shoemaker will share fascinating stories from her recent book, “Women of Barnstable”, which focuses on the accomplishments of over 200 female residents of Barnstable and West Barnstable, from women who lived in the 1700s to more recent residents who have made notable contributions to our history.

Following the program, our group will be treated to a private tour of the museum, a 14-room setting that features, among many other treasures, an 1840 house, an extensive, impressive collection of historic clothing creatively exhibited, maritime and military artifacts, quilts, antique decorative arts, paintings, tools, children's toys and dolls and even a recreated 1800’s school room.

For the cherry on the top (literally), we will wind-up the afternoon with a trip to Four Seas Ice Cream Shop around the corner from the museum.

Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity! All ages are welcome!  

Entrance to the museum, lunch and tour is $15. Please bring check or cash with you.
