Exeter Historical Society
We are a recipient of the Exeter Area Chamber of Commerce's 2011 Business of the Year Award!
For over 80 years the Exeter Historical Society has been collecting artifacts from Exeter's past ... and its present.
Our collections illustrate the town's rich and fascinating history, its residents, and ultimately its place in the larger history of both the state and the nation.
A non-profit organization, the Exeter Historical Society offers regular programs of local historical interest and is a repository for documents, maps, photos, artifacts, and other ephemera pertaining to Exeter, New Hampshire.
We maintain a research library, act as a resource for genealogical research, co-sponsor historical events and publications, create exhibits hoping to encourage historic preservation, and document today's events as the history of tomorrow.
