Discover the Collection
The 2008 renovation allowed us to transform the Still River Meetinghouse into a museum of Harvard’s past. All three rooms are now exhibit spaces, where furniture, artifacts, and paintings are displayed. You can learn about the old weights and measures system and how the old fire alarm worked. You can see equipment from farms and industries of the past, admire the work of Shaker craftsmen, and meet important former Harvard residents through
their portraits.

Discover the Programs
• Periodic exhibits, such as “Harvard as Utopia,” “The History of the Town Center,”
and “Covered Bridges of New England;” depict the town’s history and its people.
• Concerts feature local musicians performing in the meetinghouse, known to be “acoustically superb.”
• Art exhibits allow local painters and crafters to share their creativity with the community
• Discovery Open Houses showcase the extensive collection of the Society

Discover the Archives
The archives are a treasure trove of information about Harvard. Maps, photos, books, documents, town reports, personal narratives are all windows to a past that influences Harvard today. Our genealogist, Susan Lee, can, for a small fee, provide you with a
history of your home.

Discover the Society
The Society office is open to the public Monday afternoons from 2 to 4 pm.
By pre-arrangement, members can see the collection when there are no public events.

We are a private, non-profit organization Our members and generous contributors support our operations and capital spending. We hope you will become a member and join us in
discovering Harvard’s rich history and how that history has shaped the present-day town
we love.
