Culture, History, Historic House
Wistariahurst is an historic house museum. The Museum offers a lively schedule of concerts, exhibits, house tours, and workshops. Through our collections, research, exhibits and programs the museum is dedicated to promoting an understanding and appreciation of the history and material culture of the William Skinner Family, members of the manufacturing elite, the working class who made that lifestyle possible and the Holyoke region where those people lived their lives. In all activities, the goal is to encourage today's public to encounter, enjoy and learn from the richly varied experiences and cultural expressions of the people who gave the Holyoke area its distinct character.
