The Dorchester County Historical
Society is a private, nonprofit, organization dedicated to the collection,
preservation, maintenance, exhibit, and making available for research:
artifacts, documents and other items relative to the history of Dorchester
County. The Dorchester County Historical Society was founded in 1953 to
promote an appreciation of Dorchester County history. The Society strives
to fulfill this goal by collecting artifacts, operating museums, maintaining
an archive, and by advocating the preservation of other historic resources
in the County. Many educational program meetings are held throughout the
year at which guests speak on topics related to the local and regional
history. Society members enjoy special invitations to periodic bus trips
and various social events. Many opportunities for community service are
made available to members through society projects. Records are available
at the Library in Cambridge.
