Jenks Library Now Open by Appointment

Jenks Library is now open by appointment.   For the protection of our volunteers, we ask that unvaccinated people please wear masks when entering the building.  As always, you can contact AHS with any questions via email (Jenkslibrary@verizon.net) or telephone ( 978 264-0690), and our volunteers will respond.

Preparations for a future opening of the museum are underway.  Volunteers are busy with cleaning, maintenance, organization, and updating in all of our buildings.

Future plans will evolve as we know more.  Check here for changes.

Acton History Online

Though we can't offer the resources of Jenks Library at the present time, we have been busy creating online content to share.

A Plea for Photos

During this hiatus from our usual Jenks Library open hours, we have been working on long-standing projects to improve access to our collections.  One of those projects is digitizing the wonderful photos that have been donated by individuals with Acton roots.

Do you have photos of Acton houses, scenes, people or events?  If you do not want to give up precious originals, we would be delighted to have good resolution  scans of your Acton photos.  We are very grateful to those who have preserved and shared their family's memories.  Please join them in making Acton's history accessible to others.  Please Contact us if you can help.
