Housed in a circa 1770 barn, Packet Galleries is an eclectic gallery of antiques, textiles, contemporary photography and other fine arts. We have the largest collection of photographic antiquities on Cape Cod. On this site the original Packet Antiques and Country Store opened in the early 1900's and was continuously operated until 1999. First operated by Brad and Kay Clarke, then purchased by Lloyd and Betty Godwin in 1964 the gallery was re-opened in 2012 and is now being operated by Stan and Sandra Godwin.

A gallery featuring the work of American craftsmen and artists in a contemporary setting. Showing jewelry, glass, ceramics, wood, paintings, prints, sculpture and home furnishings in a wide price range from ten dollars to thousands. Under the same ownership in this location since 1970. A must visit for many of our customers when they return to the Cape. Our website shows just a fraction of the work that is show in our gallery.

Cape Cod Museum of Natural History

The mission of the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History is to inspire appreciation, understanding and stewardship of our natural environment through discovery and learning. The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History integrates the three strands of its organizational identity - as museum of natural history, nature education center, and steward of conservation land. As a small museum of natural history, we will preserve, exhibit, and interpret our own collections of natural history artifacts and display relevant traveling and loan exhibits. We may also collaborate with local and regional organizations on co-sponsored exhibits. As a nature education center, we will engage children and adults in high-quality programs, classes, lectures, panel discussions, workshops, films, walks, field trips, traditions and interactive exhibits that reveal the many facets of the natural world and the reciprocal impacts that humans and nature exert on each other. As befits a nature education center, we will explore our potential as a center for citizen scientists and amateur naturalists, and as a forum for informed discussion of important issues related to the natural world, especially on Cape Cod. As a steward of 400-plus acres of museum-owned land in Stony Brook Valley and Brewster conservation land adjacent to the museum, including Wing's Island, the salt marsh, and the beach along Cape Cod Bay between Quivett and Paine's Creeks, we will monitor and protect the land and focus our programming on its varied habitats - our outdoor classroom and teaching tool. Programs may also take place elsewhere on Cape Cod and in New England when appropriate.

This is a wonderful small museum with a great feel for the Cape and its sea denizens. Excellent for children of all ages and thoughtful displays which are readily accessible and understandable. A serious and friendly staff which reflects a real commitment to marine education and environmental responsibility.

Stopped here to check out their unique items. Ended up going back on our last day for additional pieces. Loved it so much, ordered Christmas gifts which were packaged securely and shipped super fast. I suspect I’ll order again soon.
