The collections include furniture, ceramics, glass, prints, paintings, firearms, and textiles from the 17th to the 19th century. Permanent exhibits include the 1773 Public Hospital, an exhibit on the treatment methods for mental illnesses. The furniture collection contains English and American pieces created between 1680 and 1830 and contemporary American folk art.
