Welcome to Cuttyhunk Historical Society and the Museum of the Elizabeth Islands!

The Cuttyhunk Historical Society operates the Museum of the Elizabeth Islands, a seasonal museum on Cuttyhunk Island, MA. The last island in the Elizabeth Islands chain, Cuttyhunk is located between New Bedford and Martha’s Vineyard. The Native American’s appropriately named the island for being half-way across Buzzards Bay.
