Welcome to the Stone Harbor Museum
Established in 1999
Step back in time at the Stone Harbor Museum. Since 1999, our museum has preserved Stone Harbor’s rich history through curated displays and archival treasures. Knowledgeable volunteer docents welcome you and guide you through the exhibits.
Highlights include our award-winning “Stone Harbor Stories”—oral histories from the 1930s—and extensive collections of vintage photographs and memorabilia. Don’t miss our special exhibit celebrating Taylor Swift, who spent summers in Stone Harbor. Explore our Timeline exhibit tracing the town’s development from when a $100 bond included a free lot, and discover the history of our two railroads and mile-long boardwalk. We also feature the island’s largest collection of vintage beach tags, available for purchase.
Whether you’re a resident, summer visitor, or first-time guest, the Stone Harbor Museum offers a memorable journey through our coastal heritage.

Dear Stone Harbor Enthusiast,
As homeowners, we all know the difference between a cosmetic update and a necessary structural repair. You peel back a layer of wallpaper, discover the wall underneath isn’t up to standard, and realize you can’t just ignore it. You have to fix it the right way. That is exactly where the Stone Harbor Museum finds itself this holiday season.
After closing a few weeks early out of an abundance of caution to check on a small amount of mold found in our back office, we decided to turn this challenge into an opportunity. Rather than just doing a quick cleanup, we are seizing the moment to do it right.
We are taking this time to fully remodel the entire office and collections storage area. We are repainting, updating the work spaces for our growing staff, and installing new, high-quality shelving and cabinetry to ensure our archives have the safest possible home.
It’s a big project, but it ensures that the history you love stays protected for many years to come.

Thank you for bearing with us while we get a little dusty to keep our history shiny and new. The improvements will be completed in the Spring, in time for our opening Memorial Day weekend!
Our 2026 season is going to be a monumental year! Learn more here.
