The Josiah Dennis Manse Museum in Dennis, Massachusetts, is a historic house museum housed in a 2 1/2-story timber frame saltbox house built around 1736 for Rev. Josiah Dennis, the town's first minister. Operated by the Dennis Historical Society, the museum showcases 18th-century history and includes the town's only surviving district school building, the West Schoolhouse.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1974, the Josiah Dennis Manse Museum offers visitors a glimpse into the early history of the Dennis area, named after Rev. Josiah Dennis who served as minister for 38 years. Open on select days during the summer, the museum provides a unique opportunity to explore the rich heritage of this charming Cape Cod town.
