This month’s message from The Woolwich Historical Society

The Woolwich Historical Society was organized in 1978 by a group of dedicated citizens whose fondest wish was to preserve the history of the Town. This has continued to be done through events, membership, and education.

We operate a 200 year old farmhouse and barn as a museum during the summer months – open Sundays from 12-4 during June, July & August, and by appointment.

The Society has participated in a variety of events throughout the previous years, including Woolwich Day, Town sponsored Memorial Day and Veteran’s Days events, and the Patten Free Library’s Town History Series in January & February. Each fall we choose an individual, couple, family or business from Woolwich to honor at our Annual Recognition Dinner. This is a special, enjoyable time to highlight the achievements and service given to our community and Society.

We are proud to serve as a local history resource for both genealogical and general town history inquiries, as well as a field trip destination for local schools.

We sincerely thank those who support our Society! Fundraising is always a challenge, especially during the last two years, as we have all dealt with the Covid-19 pandemic. We are sure all non-profits have experienced the same difficulties.

Many of the rooms and exhibits within our museum building have been updated. We are delighted in what’s been accomplished – it’s beautiful! We are located at the corner of U.S. Route 1 and Nequasset Road. We hope you will plan to visit this summer!

Unfortunately, our website is currently under construction. For more information, please contact our Board President, Debbie Locke, at joyful@gwi.net.
