Discovering and Sharing Acton's Stories

Next Open House Saturday October 21 1-4 pm - See our new Exhibit

Thank you to all who came to the opening of our new exhibit on Acton's schools, Then and Now.   Our next open house will be:

Saturday October 21, 1-4 pm
Hosmer House Museum, 300 Main Street, Acton, MA.

Education has been an issue of great concern to the people of Acton from the town's early years.  Growth, economic constraints, and change have been challenges over the generations.  Some of our extensive collection of items and photographs related to Acton's schools are on display; see for yourself how Acton and its schools have changed over time.
