Dive into Newburyport’s rich maritime past at the Custom House Maritime Museum. The charming coastal city of Newburyport is one of the eastern seacoast’s first major commercial ports. At the museum, examine model ships, maritime art and other exhibits to learn all about this fascinating time in New England’s history. Spot the Custom House easily by its symmetrical gray stone façade. Famous architect Robert Mills, who also designed the Washington Monument and the Treasury Building in Washington, D.C., designed it in the Classical Revival style. Beginning in 1835, the federal government used the building to collect taxes on foreign goods imported through the city’s port. Today, the Custom House is an homage to the seaport’s past. Walk through the Moseley Gallery’s stunning Hall of Ships, featuring dozens of model clipper ships. Examine the small-scale replica of the Dreadnought, a famously fast ship that was built in Newburyport. Examine half hulls, portraits and other models to learn more about these historic vessels.
