About Us
The Cuttyhunk Historical Society is a non-profit organization and depends on donations, gifts, and grants to fund its many activities. One vital source of funding comes in the form of memberships. These annual gifts create a dependable base of support that allows us to plan for future programs, events, and projects. Each gift goes directly to the activities that preserve the history and heritage of the Elizabeth Islands.
With membership to the Cuttyhunk Historical Society comes the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping preserve the culture and history of these islands. The Society is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) publicly supported organization and contributions are tax deductible as allowed by law.
The purpose of the Cuttyhunk Historical Society is to preserve the traditions, records and history of the Elizabeth Islands for the benefit of present and future generations. Launched in 1978 and incorporated in 1982, the Society owns and operates the Museum of the Elizabeth Islands on Cuttyhunk.
