The East End Seaport Museum is a maritime museum dedicated to preserving our local history and maritime heritage through education, exhibits, trips, events and activities.

Our members can enjoy many activities at a discount or receive priority registration. Some activities are exclusively for members-only.

Your membership dues support Bug Light, an offshore lighthouse we own and maintain. It is open to the public on scheduled trips. Widely photographed and filmed, Bug Light is the symbol of the East End’s resilient maritime heritage.
