Southampton History Museum

Director of the Southampton History Museum, Tom Edmunds, believes the museum’s public spaces offer a way to stay in touch with nature. Relax on a bench at Rogers Mansion to view the historic buildings, or observe the sunset through the budding trees. In Emma’s Garden at the Pelletreau Silver Shop, the perennial herbs are waking up. The staff is also working on virtual tours to keep connected. Visit www.southamptonhistory.org for more information.
