Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the centerpiece of the Society’s properties, this home is a stately, fully-furnished sea captain's home, circa 1840. It is the only one like it on Cape Cod regularly open to the public, providing an intimate glimpse into how sea captains' families lived and entertained in the Victorian era.

The museum will be closed through 2025. Click the button below for a virtual tour

The Bangs Hallet House Museum will be closed for the 2025 season in order to focus on several collection management projects. The museum’s holdings will be studied and inventoried. The temporary closure will be transformative in ways that will benefit the museum and HSOY for years to come: it will provide time to redesign the displays and rethink our approach to special exhibition spaces within the house. We are hoping to modernize the museum while honoring its past; to make it more accessible for our public and grow our audience, reflecting our mission to share Yarmouth’s history with the public. Our plan is to reopen for the 2026 season with a special exhibition that focuses on Yarmouth Port during the pivotal period of American Revolution.

We are located at 11 Strawberry Lane, just off the Old King’s Highway (Route 6A) and on the Yarmouth Port Common. Parking is available along the Common.

Also on the grounds of the Captain Bangs Hallet House Museum is a 120 year old Weeping Beech Tree, one of only a few on the Cape. It's a spectacular sight with an enormous spread and limbs that literally embrace all those who stand beneath it. Visitors are welcome but due to the age of the tree please do not climb. Hugs welcome!
