Explore Harwich heritage as we share news, images, and information about what's going on at Brooks Academy Museum and the Elmer Crowell Barn.
Housed in the historic Brooks Academy, the Harwich Historical Society collects, preserves, and presents the history of Harwich through exhibitions, education programs, active collecting, and research. Museum exhibits feature the Cape's most extensive cranberry culture display and a working HO-scale model layout of the Lower Cape. Coming in 2015 is the Elmer Crowell Barn, the reconstructed workshop of the world famous Harwich bird carver.
