The Elizabeth Truxell Museum is open 10-12:30 during the season.
Museum
The Epworth Historical Society functions to organize, catalogue, maintain, and display the artifacts that are the story of Epworth, beginning in 1894. A visit to the Elizabeth Truxell Museum, located on the second floor of the Hotel, reveals a treasure trove of reminders of the evolution of the assembly from its earliest days to the present. It is also a rich resource for those doing research on the history of their cottages, programs at Epworth, or other aspects of Epworth through time.

Epworth Treasures – Please think twice before you decide to throw away any “old stuff.” These items could be Epworth historical treasures. Contact the museum if you have any items to donate.We would also like to copy any old photos you may have that are related to Epworth.
