Lynn Then & Now Fundraiser

Our annual fall fundraiser raises funds to support the organization's programming efforts including our school tours program "History Detectives" for Lynn's third grade and sixth grade students, free take home art kits for Lynn families, and our "Second Saturdays" program, which offers free admission and art making activities to the Greater Lynn community.

Located in the heart of the Downtown Lynn Cultural District, the Lynn Historical Society was founded in 1897 to collect, preserve, and illuminate the city's remarkable history. We have since evolved into a vibrant cultural campus, including our Museum at 590 Washington Street and Studios at 25 Exchange Street.

The Lynn Museum & Arts Center offers changing exhibitions and innovative youth and adult programs that engage and enrich Lynn's diverse community. We also provide affordable studio space for artists, musicians, cultural organizations, and creative entrepreneurs. We encourage active participation in exploring the city's past while shaping a shared vision for its future.

We invite you to visit and join us in preserving and celebrating Lynn's history, art, and community!
