Preserving And Sharing Our Local History

The Dorset Historical Society was incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 1963. The Society 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 is Open to the Public Wednesday to Friday 10:00 – 4:00.
Please call for Saturday hours. Or schedule an appointment

Thank You! The Dorset Historical Society Board, Staff, Volunteers and Docents
