Collecting, preserving, interpreting, and sharing Block Island’s past to enrich the present and inspire the future.

Lighting Up the Historical Society This Holiday Season

This holiday season, we’re continuing a cherished tradition: illuminating the museum windows with lights dedicated to those who embody the spirit of Block Island and all that makes it so special.

Honor someone dear to you by purchasing a candle. Our elves will light up the museum in their memory or honor, and we’ll also share a virtual candle lighting on our social media.
