The Restoration...
During the May 1997 Annual Town Meeting it was unanimously voted to transfer this building and its contents to the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Council.
This major renovation project is expected to exceed $220,000 and will include a new roof, gutters, sills and windows. A separate project will be to renovate the parking lot and create a drainage system to protect the Mashpee River from road runoff. The Museum was placed on to the National Register of Historic Places in January 1999.
The return of our Museum, housed in this historic building provides exciting opportunities to portray our history from our own perspective. The museum will be the centerpiece of a long-range plan that includes the Parsonage across the street, the Herring Flume recreating the Bourne Mill and a Traditional Village setting on adjacent private property.
For this endeavor to come to fruition, it will be necessary to initiate an aggressive fundraising campaign. This campaign will concentrate not only on the building renovation at hand, but also to develop new and innovative exhibits and educational programs. We can only achieve this goal with a network of friends and supporters.
