Where Our History is Housed

The History Trust presents this online exhibit about the iconic structures that represent our member institutions. They range from a converted one-room schoolhouse to a former country store, a summer cottage turned academic hall, to a one-time convent, a repurposed fire station, to an iconic village clock.

While our organizations vary in size and scope, we have all committed to collectively working towards digitizing our collections for public access on the Digital Archive platform. Presented here is a sampling of what you will find at  historytrust.org . We hope you enjoy this look at where our region’s history is housed!
