Wondering about the Pig Roast for 2021?
The Trustees have made the difficult decision to suspend our annual Pig Roast Event until further notice, which means we will not be holding the Pig Roast in 2021. In the meantime, you can view the
Calendar of Events to see our plans for 2021.
We are opening!
Starting
July 7, 2021, we will be open to the public time during our regular hours - on
Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, 1 pm to 4 pm.
We welcome all visitors to the museum with the following protocols:
- Those that have not been vaccinated need to wear a mask upon entering any building.
- Please stay with your group at all times and continue the 6 ft rule with those you do not know.
- Hand sanitizer and masks are available upon request.
- Groups larger than five people may be broken down into smaller groups for tour purposes,
- Appointments are still requested if working on research or genealogy projects.
We thank you for helping to keep all our volunteers safe!

1927 Centre School Panorama with Name IDs
Did anyone in your family attend the Hampton Centre School in
1927? If so, you can probably find their picture (as a kid) within our panoramic picture. We have created a series of web pages that enable you to find people by name in the image. Click
here to find out about it.
Souvenir China Exhibit added to our Archives
Pictures of the Souvenir China Exhibit from 2018-19 have been assembled into a series of webpages as part of our Archives collection.
This archive view includes close-up individual images of every piece in the exhibit, so it is a good chance for even people who saw the exhibit to get an even closer view of the pretty items that were on display. Click

See Our 90th Anniversary Posters in Web Format
HHS celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2015. As part of that occasion, an exhibit was created at the museum called
Gathering on the Green: A History of the Hampton Historical Society and Tuck Museum from 1925 to the Present. It consisted of a series of posters for each decade, spread throughout the museum. Visitors would follow the route through the museum and read each poster.
At the time, we wanted people to come to the museum to see the new exhibit, and didn't want to present the full text of each poster on this website. However, now that some time has passed, we are now presenting those posters in web-friendly format for easy online viewing.
So, if you want to read a lot of interesting info about the history of Hampton and HHS, presented in a lively format (derived from the original, beautiful posters), go to the upgraded
Gathering on the Green page.
(The physical posters are still on display at the museum, so come in and see them for real too!)
The Tuck Museum is still closed, but you can help us by gambling on HHS-sponsored charitable gaming days at the Ocean Gaming Casino at Hampton Beach. Click here for more info.
