Description

Built in 1897, the Old Harbor U.S. Life Saving Station is a historic maritime rescue station and museum originally located at Nauset Beach near the entrance to Chatham Harbor, and was used by the United States Life-Saving Service (USLSS), and then by its successor, the United States Coast Guard (USCG), as the Old Harbor Coast Guard Station. The station was decommissioned in 1944, abandoned and sold as surplus in 1947, and was used as a private residence for the next 26 years.
