8th Annual Art @ The Museum
Online Show and Sale
The 8th Annual Art@The Museum in July was a big success. Patrons and artists had a wonderful afternoon under the tent surrounded by so many magnificent creations. If you were unable to make the event, our online exhibit and sale will be your chance to view and purchase some of these pieces from renowned Cape Cod artists.
Remember, 30% of your purchase goes directly to the museum.
30% of the proceeds from every sale is tax deductible. The proceeds go to support the regular maintenance and upkeep of our collection of 100-year-old wooden boats and brings events like the weekly Osterville Farmers’ Markets to life.
We can’t thank you enough–both artists and patrons–for your ongoing support!
Welcome to the
Osterville Historical Museum
Home of the Crosby Boats
We are dedicated to preserving the history of the village of Osterville. Located near the charming seaside, the Museum complex sits on lovely grounds which are highlighted by an 18th century herbal garden and a 19th century ornamental garden. The Museum’s permanent collection includes period decorative arts, furniture, ceramics, and a dozen full-sized wooden boats. The two-acre campus sits on a quiet street–a perfect spot to enjoy a picnic lunch or a cup of coffee with free WiFi on a sunny day.
