Our New Home

We are still closed. But we are now planning to renovate our own building. While the coronavirus may still be with us, better days are coming. Sixty-six years after its founding, the Strafford Historical Society (SHS) at last has a permanent home, seen here, the historic Masonic Hall in So. Strafford. The Strafford Historical Society closed in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic and then we lost our lease. After several months of uncertainty, as we packed up our collection and searched for new quarters, the Masons came to the rescue and, in the spirit of helping our community, offered the Masonic Hall to us at a price we could afford. We are deeply grateful to the Masons for making this building available to us.

 

Please be patient as we adapt the building to the Historical Society's needs and to yours. You have been generous to us in the past and we hope we can count on your continued support as we take on the challenges of restoring an aging structure and once again making Strafford's history accessible to the community. We are currently updating the Strafford Historical Society’s website <straffordvthistory.org> and hope soon to be able to report on our progress.
