New Research Center and Expanded Hours at the Carpenter Museum

Posted

The Rehoboth Antiquarian Society’s Carpenter Museum is excited to announce the opening of our new research and genealogy center. The Research Center combines the genealogical and historical materials previously housed in the Robert S. Trim Collection at the Blanding Public Library with the Museum’s reference materials, in one centralized location.

The Museum’s collection spans four centuries of Rehoboth history and includes thousands of objects, archival materials, and photographs. Visitors will now have the opportunity to schedule an appointment with our Collections Manager, Crystal Johnson, to view objects and archival materials from the Museum’s collections. For more information or to request an appointment, please contact our Collections Manager, Crystal Johnson, at collections@rehobothantiquarian.org.

We are looking for volunteers to lead tours of the Museum and/or provide assistance in the Research Center. Please contact us at director@rehobothantiquarian.org or (508) 252-3031 for more information.

To better accommodate visitors, we have modified and expanded our open hours for the Carpenter Museum and the new Research Center. Beginning January 2, 2018, the Museum and Research Center will be open on the following days:

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 1PM - 4PM
3rd Saturday of the month, 9AM - Noon

Admission is free for Rehoboth Antiquarian Society members, Rehoboth residents, and visitors under 18. For all other visitors, there is a suggested donation of $5/person.
