Established 1921 · Westminster, Massachusetts
We collect, preserve, and share the artifacts, records, landmarks, and stories that shaped Westminster—from the town’s earliest years to the present.
Our purpose
Local history survives only when a community chooses to protect it. For more than a century, the Westminster Historical Society has safeguarded the photographs, manuscripts, tools, textiles, and architectural heritage of Westminster, Massachusetts.
We are completing a multi-year effort to create a digital archive, which we hope to make available soon. Your donations have made this work possible.
