By the Sea - Summertime In Hull
Runs Through October 2022

Summertime in Hull has always been an extraordinary season for relaxation and recreation for locals and visitors alike. Our current exhibit takes time to reflect on the look and feel of Hull at the turn of the 20th century capturing the spectacular inns, luxurious steamboats and the extraordinary spectacle of Paragon Park that attracted thousands to Hull and Nantasket Beach. Be sure to add a visit to the museum to your list of must-do's this summer.

Summer Adventure
Our Summer Adventure program is well underway through August 18. Each week includes hands-on activities, outdoor exploration, and a fun mix of history, science and arts. Pictured here is our ever-popular block and tackle that combines an opportunity to learn about simple machines while having fun lifting weights.

There is still limited space available in August, including the extended day program. So, sign up now online to book a spot for any of the remaining program weeks.
