Calling all RHS members! Join us for coffee, conversation, and a closer look at history on the second Saturday of every month. We invite our members to arrive before the museum opens to explore parts of the historical society’s collection that are not otherwise on display. This sneak peek behind the scenes of our archives and collections invites engaging dialog with staff and offers a unique look at Rye’s vibrant history. RSVP is required.

Little Historians Story Time is a bi-monthly children’s program (Ages 6-10) designed to spark curiosity, imagination, and a love of history in young learners. This program encourages an exploration of the past through engaging storytelling, hands-on activities such as themed coloring pages, and an introduction to the Square House Museum. Walk-ins are welcome, donations are gratefully accepted.

Join us on the fourth Saturday of each month for an all-new Architecture Tour of the Square House! This fascinating tour begins in 1730, when the first structure was built as a private home for Peter Brown. Tour goers then travel to the year 1780, when major renovations helped to expand the Inn and Tavern's business. Fast forward to 1830, when the building was converted back a private home for the Mead family. In 1904, to save the home from demolition, yet another conversion turned the residence into City Hall, and finally, in 1964, a colonial museum. Tickets are required for this one of a kind tour.
