Hull Lifesaving Museum

The Hull Lifesaving Museum combines maritime history with hands-on programs and social services for people of all ages. Established in 1978, the museum organizes its mission around three values, Skills, Courage and Caring, and stresses the relevance of history in its members’ daily lives. It sees itself as a leading cultural organization and an advocate for social change in the region, integrating social services and experiential education with historical preservation and interpretation.

Programs span a wide range of interests and abilities. Participants can take up rowing or boat building, attend lectures, join summer youth adventures or head out on on-water explorations. The museum also hosts skill-based meetings for veterans and runs boat-building experiences designed to bring several generations together and to include people of all abilities. Community events, from rowing races to a Halloween-themed pumpkin trail, round out the calendar.
