The Museums at Wytheville includes the Haller-Gibboney Rock House Museum and the Thomas J. Boyd Museum. The home of Wytheville's first resident physician, the Haller-Gibboney Rock House has played a significant role in Wytheville's history since its construction in 1823. Dr. John Haller served his community as a country doctor, county coroner, and delegate to the Virginia Legislature. As a Registered Historical Landmark, the home now serves as a museum containing over 1,400 original artifacts and period furnishings. The purpose of the Rock House Museum is to preserve its collections, structure, and grounds in a manner that promotes understanding and appreciation of family life in Wytheville within the context of the events of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The purpose of the Thomas J. Boyd Museum is to interpret the history of the people of Wythe County, and to collect, preserve, and utilize artifacts and other material of intrinsic historical significance relating to their lives and experience. In addition to exhibits on polio and the Civil War, visitors will also find information on the lead-mining industry, the first European settlers, and Wythe County connections to famous Americans.

The museums offer exhibits, tours, research library access, occasional living history events, and educational and recreational programs.

The year was 1773 and the town of East Greenwich, RI, was still very much a part of English Colonial America. The two-storied frame house being built just above the Kent Country Courthouse was the new home of a young lawyer, James Mitchell Varnum, and his bride, Martha. Built in keeping with the best architectural standards of the day, the new mansion had a hipped roof, modillioned cornices, heavily moulded caps, and a central pedimented doorway with columned porch. The two-storied ell was added sometime in the late 1800s. A fine example of late 18th-century Rhode Island architecture, the Varnum house is on the National Register of Historic Places, and has been furnished throughout with notable pieces from the Revolutionary period. Several of the rooms were restored and furnished by individual Rhode Island familes.

The house offers tours.

Built in 1852 as a middle-class farm house for the family of John and Mary Surratt, the historic Surratt House also served as a tavern and hostelry, a post office, and a polling place during the crucial decade before the Civil War. During the war, it became a safehouse in the Confederate underground system which flourished in Southern Maryland. Today, the museum presents a variety of programs and events, recapturing the history of the mid-19th-century life and focusing on the web of the Lincoln assassination conspiracy and the involvement of the Surratt family.

A second website, maintained by the Surratt Society, can be found here.

The site offers exhibits, tours, educational programs, research library access, and monthly recreational and educational events.

The Sewall-Belmont House and Museum explores the evolving role of women and their contributions to society through the continuing, and often untold, story of women's pursuit for equality. The museum is the headquarters of the historic National Woman's Party and was the Washington home of its founder and Equal Rights Amendment author Alice Paul. Sewall-Belmont, named in the first Save America's Treasures legislation, is the only museum in the nation's capital dedicated to preserving and showcasing a crucial piece of our history—the fight for the American woman's right to vote. This struggle is documented through one of the most significant collections in the country focused on the suffrage and equal rights movements.

The museum offers a short film, exhibits, tours, educational programs, forums, and research library access.

The Society operates two museums: the Warden's House Museum and the Hay Lake School and Erikson Log House Museum. The Warden's House Museum was built in 1853 as the residence of the Minnesota Territorial Prison warden. The museum consists of 14 rooms decorated in the late 19th- and early 20th-century style. Many rooms are like those of an upper-middle-class household while other rooms depict certain historic themes of Washington County, including a room dedicated to the lumbering industry and another that shows off items that children's artifacts from 100 years ago. The Hay Lake School was constructed in 1896 and in use until 1963; the Log House was constructed in 1868 by Johannes Erickson and his 13-year-old son Alfred.

The society offers research library access and occasional recreational and educational events; the Warden's House Museum offers tours; and the School and Log House Museum offer tours and educational programs; and the

The grounds of this site include several historic structures, including the Tryon Palace, the George W. Dixon House, the Stanly House, the Robert Hay House, and the New Bern Academy. Tryon Palace was originally built between 1767 and 1770, as the first permanent capitol of the Colony of North Carolina and a home for the Royal Governor and his family. Josiah Martin, the second royal governor to live in the Palace, fled in May of 1775 at the beginning of the American Revolution. Patriots made the Palace their capitol and the first sessions of the General Assembly met there to begin designing a free and independent state. Four state governors used the Palace: Richard Caswell, Abner Nash, Alexander Martin, and Richard Dobbs Spaight. The George W. Dixon House was built in the early 1830s for George W. Dixon, a merchant tailor and one-time mayor of the city of New Bern. The Stanly House was built in the early 1780s for John Wright Stanly, a prominent New Bern citizen. John Hawks, the architect who designed Tryon Palace, may have designed the Stanly House as well. Built of hand-hewn longleaf pine, the Stanly House remains one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture in the South. The Robert Hay House, built in the first decade of the 19th century, is modest by comparison to other homes on the Palace complex. Robert Hay, a Scottish immigrant and wagon maker, bought this Federal-style wood frame townhouse in 1816, the same year he married Nancy Carney, and resided there until his death in 1850, at the age of 96. Today, it functions as a "living history" museum. Visitors get a firsthand feel for life in 1835 by talking with character interpreters who portray Hay household members and neighbors, and by hands-on experiences with the reproduction furnishings of this "Please Touch" museum. The New Bern Academy was the first school in North Carolina to be established by law; the legislative assembly incorporated it in 1766. Fire destroyed the original building in 1795. The present building was constructed between 1806 and 1809, and served as a school until 1971, making it one of the oldest continuously used school buildings in America. Today, it serves as a museum of local history.

The sites offer a short video, exhibits, tours, demonstrations, performances, and educational and recreational events (including living history events).

David Glasgow Farragut founded the Mare Island Shipyard in 1854, and the Navy closed the yard in 1996. During that period, over 500 ships, including nuclear submarines, were built at Mare Island Naval Shipyard. The Foundation cares for four of the most historic buildings in Mare Island's National Historic Landmark District. These include St. Peter's Chapel (built 1901), renowned for its Tiffany-designed stained glass windows; Quarters "A" (built 1900), largest (10,500 square feet) of the 13 colonial revival mansions; Quarters "B," a mansion of 7,400 square feet also called the "Captain's Mansion;" and Building 46 (built 1855), originally a smithery, then the pipe shop, now the Artifacts Museum.

The foundation offers tours and occasional workshops and classes; Building 46 offers exhibits.

The Society has its headquarters in the Kate Lobrano House, an 1896 shotgun cottage that was donated to the society in 1988 by the grandchildren of Katherine Maynard Lobrano. Most of the original house is used as a turn-of-the-century museum.

The society offers occasional recreational and educational events; the house offers exhibits.

The Dawes House was built in 1894–5 on a two-acre site near Lake Michigan. Designed in the style of French chateaux by architect Henry Edwards-Ficken of New York, the massive three-and-a-half story structure has 25 rooms, six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 11 fireplaces. The house was built for Robert Sheppard and his family; it was purchased by Charles Gates Dawes in 1909 and remained the Dawes family home until 1957 when it was given to Northwestern University to be used as the headquarters of the Evanston Historical Society (now known as the Evanston History Center). Northwestern University gave the house to the EHC in 2009.

The house is open to the public for docent-led tours. The two parlors, formerly used as a reception room and a music room, now feature exhibitions. The library, dining room, and great hall are furnished mostly with original Dawes pieces. A permanent exhibit on Evanston history is located on the second floor, with smaller rotating exhibits on the 2nd floor and in the research room.

The EHC offers lectures, workshops, and other educational programs, as well as community events. School and group tours are available upon request. The EHC maintains an extensive archives of documents, maps, photographs, films, clipping files and other resources and is open to the public during designated hours.

The Society maintains a museum and Glendower State Memorial. The Museum is housed in Harmon Hall, a three story, 28,000-square-foot brick building. It contains artifacts from prehistoric eras to the mid-20th century. Glendower is a restored Greek Revival mansion, one of the five built during the 19th century. John Milton Williams, a framer of the state's constitution, employed Amos Bennett to build the rectangular central unit in the 1840s. The 13 rooms include a formal drawing room with two fireplaces. All rooms, furnished with Empire and early Victorian style pieces, reflect the skilled local craftsmen and gracious living of the residents.

A website specifically for the Historical Society can be found here.
