This small museum is dedicated to preserving Boston Harbor’s rich maritime heritage and lifesaving traditions. Housed in the restored 19th century Point Allerton US Lifesaving Station, it offers year-round education and recreation programs. Located at the mouth of Boston Harbor, with views of Boston Light and the Graves Lighthouse. The museum also operates an active boathouse with open water rowing programs at Pemberton Point.

Features

The museum, founded in 1978, is housed in the former Point Allerton US Lifesaving Station, which opened in 1889, under the leadership of Joshua James. James is considered a “father” of the US Coast Guard. The museum’s mission “celebrates the lifesaving spirit of Skills, Courage, and Caring, and the relevance of our history to our constituents’ daily lives.”

This land is within the region of the Massachuseuk (or Massachusett) Native American tribe.
