The Aquinnah Cultural Center is open once again for the summer season. The Vanderhoop Homestead at the cliffs in Aquinnah is the perfect setting for artifacts of Gay Head life. The typical farmhouse includes furniture and utensils, as well as artwork.
In the coming months, the center will host Wampanoag craft days, storytelling, and house tours.
Aquinnah Cultural Center, Vanderhoop Homestead, open Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 11 am to 3 pm. A suggested donation of $10 is asked. For more information, call 508-645-7900.
