The Methuen Museum of History, located in the historic Tenney Gate House, showcases the rich heritage of Methuen, Massachusetts, through updated displays and exhibits that honor notable local philanthropists and the original Whittier family. Opened in September 2017, the museum offers insights into the town's early development and industrial evolution, highlighting the contributions of significant figures such as Edward Searles, Charles Tenney, and Henry Nevins.

Visitors can explore various themed rooms, including the Whittier Room which reflects the home's 1830 origins, and the Nevins Room that details the achievements of one of Methuen's prominent banking and textile magnates. The restoration of the Tenney Gate House stands as a testament to community efforts in preserving this vital piece of local history for future generations.
