  • I want to thank (and recognize) the Custom House Maritime Museum in Newburyport, MA, and especially Director Joan Whitlow and Pat Cannon for hosting the Beatrice-Ivey Wedding, June 12, 2021. These folks were more than accommodating and gracious, and the museum grounds is a magical place for a wedding or any event. I encourage you to contact either Joan or Pat for your next event. Simply amazing! Thanks again. Marty Beatrice
  • The staff are personal and knowledgeable. A different experience each visit, as they have a rotating exhibit. A favorite place to visit!
  • Said it was open until 4:00. We were there by 3:00. No access in. No signage saying open or telling what door to use. Front door has no handles on it.
  • Great! Guided tour when my boyfriend and I were there last Saturday afternoon. Very knowledgeable about Newburyport history
  • Had a great guided tour by a very knowledgeable and passionate guide. Learned a lot about the history of the building as well as the era in sailing surrounding the clipper ships. Highly recommend the guided tour as opposed to a self-guided one. Our tour was to last a half hour but our guide went on for over an hour. :)
