Cranberries: From Cape Cod to American (April 25 - October 18, 2026)
Whether covering our local bogs or garnishing our cocktails, cranberries have held an ever-present role in Cape Cod life for generations. Come explore the rise of this humble berry through Cape Cod’s history, from its historic use by the Wampanoag people to its modern sale worldwide by companies like Ocean Spray. This exhibition continues the debut of Heritage’s new cranberry collection, the largest museum collection of cranberry history in the country.

Throughout the grounds, a Wampanoag wetu, a Three-Sisters-style garden, and a mush8n (pronounced mish-oon) illustrate how the land that is now Heritage Museums & Gardens was likely used as summer planting fields by local Wampanoag tribes for thousands of years.

Our Gardens

Over 100 years ago, Charles Dexter purchased this property, where he began his rhododendron hybridizing work. Because of his passion and dedication, present-day visitors can expect a beautiful display of blooms throughout May into mid-June.

The 2020 expansion of North American Hydrangea Test Garden showcases some of the newest hydrangea cultivars on the market. Many of these cultivars are new to Heritage and will be maturing this season and begin to flower. Additionally, the McInnes Garden will continue the popular pollinator theme, while the Garden of the Senses will feature a newly planted succulent area as well as more herbaceous perennials throughout.
