I loved this museum/recreated village, so much so I came back twice (It had been too hot and there was too much to see before I had to leave the first day). The museum itself had a 'story boat' exhibit, i.e. boats with stories behind them and that was nice. However, the real draw for me was the recreated village. Most of the buildings were small museums in and of themselves. There were yacht club silver trophies in one, figureheads and scrimshaw/needlework by sailors in another. It doesn't shy away from the whaling heritage of the area. There is also the Charles Morgan masted sailing ship that is very cool to see. There is so much to see here it's hard to work it all into a review. It's well worth your time and it's a lovely setting. The only quibble I had was parking is at a premium so plan to be there early or having to walk a distance from a further lot.
