Hours
Note: On July 10th, we will reopen for guided museum tours for the first time since we closed our doors in March of 2020. We’ve missed you! To show our deep gratitude for our members’ unwavering support, July will be “Members Only” month. If you’re not currently a museum member, please join today! You can also sign up to become a member onsite before our timed tours. We’ll reopen to the general public on weekends in August and September this year.
As in the past, guided tours will start on the hour at 1, 2, and 3 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday. Please note that our capacity will be limited to 12 people per tour and attendance is on a first come, first served basis.
Mask Policy: Per recommendations from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, we are encouraging visitors who have not yet completed their course of COVID-19 vaccinations to wear masks or face coverings. Although masks are not required, anyone is more than welcome to wear a mask while onsite.
