Bradley House
Built around 1803, it was bought by Captain William H. Bradley at auction in 1821 for $339; it was home to the Bradley family for many years. In 1902 it was bought by the Fay family and moved to its present location a few hundred feet west along Woods Hole Road. Later, it was donated to the Woods Hole Library and rented as a doctor's office. It was restored and made into a museum in 1976.
Galleries
Bradley House contains two galleries with exhibits that generally change each year. The third gallery contains a permanent scale model of Woods Hole, circa 1895. The Archives (Woods Hole Historical Collection) are also in Bradley House.
The Cahoon Museum of American Art resides in a beautifully restored 1775 Georgian Colonial that was once an overnight stop on the stagecoach line between Hyannis and Sandwich. Wide floorboards, stenciled walls and floors, fireplaces and antique furnishings give the cheerful galleries a homey intimacy.
The heart of the collection is the fanciful primitive paintings of the late Ralph and Martha Cahoon, local legends who had their home, studio and gallery in the old house for 37 years. The Cahoon Museum also features a choice collection of 19th- and early 20th-century American marine paintings, landscapes, still lifes and portraits by such esteemed artists as Ralph Blakelock, William Bradford, James Buttersworth, John J. Enneking, Alvan Fisher, Levi Wells Prentice and William Matthew Prior
