The Williamstown Historical Society is the only
organization devoted to preserving the history of the entire
Williamstown community.
We have a museum, of many
pictures and artifacts pertaining
to Williamstown's past, which is open primarily by appointment, May
through October, by calling Becky Watson at 433-5451.
We rely on your
support to continue our activities, which include:
- Cataloging and
archival preservation of items historically significant to Williamstown
- Exhibitions
- Public programs on
historical topics
- Assistance to
researchers
- Consultation to
teachers, town groups and other historical societies
