Founded
in 1954. the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History encourages and advances
understanding of our natural environment through discovery and learning. The
museum is set on 80-acres, abutted by 300 acres of town-owned conservation land.
Two floors of exhibits feature the flora and fauna of Cape
Cod, including exhibits on whales, indigenous birds, and coastal
change, and several an aquarium housing different species of crustaceans,
mollusks, fish, frogs, turtles and snakes. Several displays are interactive and
geared to children. Special, temporary exhibits enhance the permanent
collection. The Museum also has a library and Museum Shop. Three nature trails
meander through woodland, salt marsh or on the shore of Cape Cod Bay and guided field walks are
offered year round, daily in summer. Lectures and workshops on natural history
topics are offered year round, and there are special programs for children, as
well as school vacation programs and KidSummer, to engage them in nature.
Outside its boundaries, the Museum leads popular Wednesday Walks to different
locales around the Cape. Trip dates and
locations are listed under Calendar on our website.
