About Us

The VISION of the CHO is to bring history and culture to life, thus inspiring a shared sense of community and pride in the rich heritage of Orleans. Founded in 1958 as the Orleans Historical Society, it consists of ''The Meetinghouse'' and ''The Hurd Chapel'' located at 3 River Road serving as a gathering place for learning, activities and interesting programs and also can be rented for special occasions. The Gold Medal CG 36500 Motor Lifeboat active-duty service has come and gone now, but it and its incredible story live on (located at Rock Harbor in season). For more than 40 years, the Orleans Historical Society/CHO has had the honor of restoring, operating and preserving this treasure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Now the CHO has the duty to see it better protected and preserved to inspire many generations to come.
