About Us :

Founded in 1966, the Bethel Historical Society provides visitors with a doorway to the past from its Regional History Center in historic Bethel Hill Village. The Center's adjoining properties on Broad Street—the 1821 O’Neil Robinson House and the 1813 Dr. Moses Mason House—are both listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Open year-round during regular hours and by appointment, the Society's Regional History Center offers more than a dozen period rooms and exhibit galleries where visitors can discover the area's colorful and varied past. The Society's museum and library collections include a wide range of materials documenting the rich heritage of northern New England, with major concentration devoted to western Maine and the White Mountain region of Maine and New Hampshire. Throughout the year, the Bethel Historical Society provides lectures, conferences, craft demonstrations, and educational activities for members and the general public.
