Heritage Museums & Gardens attracts over one hundred thousand visitors yearly to celebrate and explore the unique landscape and culture of Cape Cod. Replacing an aging, undersized, and confusing facility, the new Barbey Family Welcome Center gracefully and intuitively transition visitors from the world outside to the beautiful and serene setting by previewing all Heritage has to offer.

Stunning views of the site’s signature water flume and surrounding lush landscape from the central visitor center and thoughtfully placed overlooks create a memorable first impression that beckons visitors to enter the grounds, where they find new opportunities to learn, gather, and reflect.

Supporting Heritage’s mission to provide leadership in sustainable design, the buildings’ efficient envelope, all electric systems, solar panels, and permeable paving help meet the high-efficiency standards consistent with Massachusetts’ decarbonization goals.
