Collecting, Preserving, And Sharing Our Local History

The Dorset Historical Society was incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 1963. The Society values, preserves, and shares local history with residents and visitors through our collections, events, and community education. Toward these ends, we collect and maintain artifacts, art, photographs, documents, books, manuscripts, and genealogical records pertinent to Dorset and its environs from the time the town was chartered in 1761 to the present.

The Museum will Open to the Public on Saturday, May 24th from 10am-2pm.
Please contact us for our winter hours which can change due to weather, or to schedule an appointment.
