The OGUNQUIT HERITAGE MUSEUM at the Captain James Winn House is located in the Dorothea Jacobs Grant Common at 86 Obeds Lane in Ogunquit.

 The Captain Winn House is the focal point of the Dorothea Jacobs Grant Common, a new park located in close proximity to the S. Judson Dunaway Center. This 18th Century cape with original architectural features consists of a keeping room, a best room, a borning room, a back bedroom with “Indian” shutters, a central chimney with three fireplaces, a buttery with a back staircase, a front foyer with a unique Federal staircase leading to two small bedrooms in the garret. Throughout the cape there remains most of the original paneling, flooring, hardware and mantel.

Exhibits at the Museum include Maritime history including coastal trade and fishing in early Ogunquit; our front room is devoted to the artist colony, schools and artists paintings; a "Do You Remember" room is devoted to the more recent history, early hotels and inns as well as Ogunquit Theatre and town photos; and finally, a room with information on the archetecture of Ogunquit including the Winn House. 

 The museum exhibits art, historical artifacts and offer educational programs. This museum and its programs and cultural activities will provide residents, visitors, and particularly the children of Ogunquit and surrounding communities the opportunity to learn about the unique history, culture and early architecture of Ogunquit.

The recently completed new "ell" will house the Littlefield Genealogical Library, the history of Ogunquit fishing and lobstering, and boat building where the Ogunquit Dory will be recreated.
