Wing History Museum

The Wing History Museum is located directly across the street from the Fort House. The museum is dedicated to sharing the stories of nearly 400 years of Wing descendants as they migrated across America. 

Featuring rotating special exhibits and the permanent Simon Wing photographic collection, the museum also serves as Wing Family of America's genealogical library & gift shop.
