Welcome to the
Acton Historical Society

Our Mission

The objectives of the Acton Historical Society are to discover, preserve and perpetuate facts and artifacts concerned with local history, and to make them available to all interested parties. The intention of these objectives is to conserve our heritage by creating an interest in them.
Membership in the Acton Historical Society implies support for these objectives. Members are offered monthly programs September through June.
Volunteer opportunities exist within the Society and at the Hosmer House and the Jenks Library.
