About the Museum and Library
The James E. Whalley Masonic Museum and Library is the premier institution of its type in New Hampshire. The library contains in excess of 4000 books, covering Freemasonry, Portsmouth and New Hampshire history and genealogy. Of particular interest are a complete set of Grand Lodge of New Hampshire Proceedings, records from the York and Scottish Rites, and Masonic periodicals from the 19th Century. A number of local Masonic artifacts are preserved, including aprons, jewels, and commemorative items. Many photographs of the Seacoast area are also preserved.
It is operated by a small group of volunteer Masons, and is open to the public for research and study purposes. Interested parties should contact the museum for an appointment, or visit on Wednesday mornings.
