Venue Rental
Host Your Special Event or Social Gathering at the Custom House Maritime Museum
“We have used the Custom House Maritime Museum for a number of events over the years including a couple of wonderful holiday celebrations. The Custom House is a beautiful location to hold any function and its location in the heart of Newburyport is spectacular. The staff at the Museum is friendly and very accommodating. It is a great location and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a venue for a special business or personal event.
