Nye Museum Press is the new publishing imprint of the Nye Museum. We publish titles that tell the stories of generations who lived and worked at the Benjamin Nye Homestead, raised their families, tended the land, developed industries, journeyed to new territories, and helped build new communities. Nye Museum Press also manages a catalog of Nye Family of America Association publications that date back as far as the early twentieth century. These titles are available for purchase online and at the museum’s gift shop.
If you are interested in participating or have any ideas or publishing proposals, please contact us.
New Titles
Our first title, Nye Mill Museum – History and Preservation, tells the history of the museum’s Grist Mill with an engaging mix of informative narrative and colorful photographs.
Future titles will explore cooking at the hearth in the Homestead, tell exciting tales from the Maritime collection, and unearth treasures from the archives. In each title, we will provide readers of all ages and backgrounds with a passport into the Nye Museum’s collection. Our goal with each title is to bring the past to life, to educate, and to inform.
