What is the Museum on Mainstreet?
The Smithsonian Museum on Main Street (MoMS) program brings engaging and interactive exhibits to small towns and rural communities across the United States. Through partnerships with local organizations, the Smithsonian makes world-class exhibitions accessible to everyone.
This year’s theme, Crossroads, explores how rural communities have transformed over time while continuing to shape the cultural landscape of America. Come visit the Smithsonian Rockport MoMS exhibit.
Why Rockport?​
Rockport, with its vibrant history and rich coastal culture, is the perfect host for this prestigious event. Our community is deeply rooted in tradition yet continues to grow and innovate, embodying the very essence of the Smithsonian’s Crossroads theme. This event also provides an incredible opportunity for our town to shine on a national stage, inviting visitors to explore not just the exhibit but everything Rockport has to offer—from local dining to outdoor adventures.
