Our Properties

Museum & Research Center, 17 Sylvan Street  -  The historic 1902 Grace Episcopal Church is now home to the Noank Historical Society’s main offices, library, archives, museum collections and exhibits. Due to limited staff availability, please schedule an appointment for a guided tour or research assistance.

The Sylvan Street Museum draws visitors and researchers interested in Noank people, houses, schools, Palmer Shipyard, boatbuilding, fishing and the artists’ community. People often are researching for family genealogical information to learn more about their Noank connections. Its archives are a great source for the study and enjoyment of New England shore history. Visitors learn of the Museum through the Noank Historical Society’s various social programs, such as quarterly meetings and lectures, quarterly newsletters, and through references from other historical and tourist organizations. 

Latham/Chester Store, 108 Main Street  -  Venue for NHS meetings, programs, special events, summer art exhibits and private rentals.

The “Red Shed” & Park, 108 Main Street  -  Hosts curated exhibits on a seasonal basis.
