Eastham Historical Society was founded in 1963 by a group of Eastham visionaries who wished to Preserve Eastham’s Past for Eastham’s Future. To that end, the Society maintains museums at the Swift-Daley complex located at 2375 State Highway in Eastham and at the 1869 School House Museum, located at 25 Schoolhouse Road. The EHS Archives, also located at the School House Museum, gathers genealogical and historical information through donations, cataloguing and preserves these materials in a safe climate controlled environment. The emphasis is on, but not limited to Eastham.
