The Gardens

The gardens at the Cahoon Museum will feature the magnificent outdoor sculptures of artists Deborah Carter and Don Nakamura in a immersive and charming setting situated behind the historic Crocker homestead at 4698 Falmouth Road, adjacent to the museum site. The property is one of six original Crocker homes, of which the museum is another, dating from the mid-to-late 18th century along the old stage road from Falmouth to Hyannis.

The 1.9-acre property, complete with the original house, outbuildings, and a landscaped garden, expands the museum’s mission of creating more meaningful and engaging art experiences for visitors.

The Gardens will open for the 2024 season on Saturday, June 8th, and then Wednesday – Sunday, 10:00am-4:0opm until October 1st.
