Step into history at the Bourne Historical Society, nestled in the picturesque Buzzards Bay, MA. Established back on December 29, 1921, this non-profit organization holds a special mission close to its heart: to safeguard and share the rich history of Bourne. Its journey began with the acquisition of the Aptucxet Trading Post, a historic site dating back to 1627 when it was built by the Plymouth Colony along the Manomet River's south bank, now part of the scenic Cape Cod Canal.
Today, the Bourne Historical Society oversees the Museums at Aptucxet, a treasure trove of heritage. Among its prized possessions are the Aptucxet Trading Post Museum and the charming President Grover Cleveland's Gray Gable Railroad Station. With each artifact and exhibit carefully preserved, visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the fascinating narrative of Bourne's past, bridging the gap between yesteryears and tomorrow.
