Joseph Allen Skinner Museum, Cabinet of curiosities in South Hadley, United States.

The Joseph Allen Skinner Museum contains over 7,000 varied objects, from antique rifles to Native American artifacts, ship models, and early American kitchen tools.

The museum building was originally a First Congregational Church from Prescott, Massachusetts, relocated to South Hadley in 1930 during the Quabbin Reservoir construction.

Mount Holyoke College manages this collection, which includes numerous Native American items, historical weapons, and nineteenth-century household implements representing American life.

The museum stands north of Mount Holyoke College on route 116, with public transportation access through PVTA bus routes 38 and 39.

The collection features a parlor dome from 1845 depicting American birds, created by Lucius Hyde using glass, wood, feathers, cloth, and wire.
