==Points of interest== [[File:Society of Friends meetinghouse Pembroke.jpg|thumb|right|[[Pembroke Friends Meetinghouse]] (1706)]] Pembroke Country Club, purchased by former NHL player [[Jeremy Roenick]], is an 18-hole course featuring 6,532 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71. The course rating is 71.1 and it has a slope rating of 124. Pembroke Country Club was designed by Philip A. Wogan, ASGCA, and opened in 1973.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.golflink.com/golf-courses/course.aspx?course=471945|title = Pembroke Country Club, Pembroke, MA}}</ref> Pembroke Historical Society is a museum consisting of two former one-room school buildings. The former Bryantville School, built in 1847, was donated by Marcus L. Urann and moved to the site in 1952. The former "cedar Swamp Schools" was donated by Mrs. Oliver Amos and moved to the site in 1968. As part of the nation's 1976 Bicentennial celebration, a Tool Museum was established in the lower level of the Museum Building.<ref name="PHS">{{Cite web |url=http://www.townofpembrokemass.org/historicalsociety.html |title=Pembroke Historical Society |access-date=February 17, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100322235108/http://www.townofpembrokemass.org/historicalsociety.html |archive-date=March 22, 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The [[Pembroke Friends Meetinghouse]] (1706) is located at Routes 139 and 53. The interior is divided in half, with women sitting on one side and men on the other. In the 18th and 19th centuries, many leading citizens were Quakers. Among the oldest Quaker sites in America, the structure was deeded to the Historical Society in 1973.<ref name="PHS"/> The Grand Old Fish Fry is usually held the first weekend in May at the Thomas Reading Herring Run Park on Route 14 (Barker Street). For 30+ years the Historical Society has invited the public to the herring run for a day of great food, music, duck races and much more. When the event first began herring were caught with nets and cooked right on site by Chef Bobby Hackett. Unfortunately, the state no longer allows the harvesting of herring due to the low numbers. Fish cakes have replaced the herring meal, and no one seems to be complaining. This is the primary fundraiser and one of the most popular for the Society. Funds raised go to the care and maintenance of the three properties (Friends Meeting House, Adah Hall House and the museum building) owned by the Historical Society.<ref name="PHS"/>
