About Us:

In 1962, Academy Hall - the current headquarters of the Rocky Hill Historical Society - was slated for demolition. Fearing that a key piece of the town's history was about to be eradicated, a small group of residents formed what is now the Rocky Hill Historical Society to save this historic building. Today, Academy Hall pays homage to its school house origins, as well as providing glimpses into the town's past with fascinating exhibits, research library, and programs.

The Rocky Hill Historical Society is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization. Its current mission is to continue to preserve Academy Hall as well as to preserve the history of this river town and make it accessible to the public. Members of the Society contribute to its success in a variety of ways, from planning and maintaining various exhibits, to researching topics of historical interest such as agriculture, education, family genealogies, quarry stories, historic CenterCemetery, and the history of businesses in town. The Society also sponsors and participates in many events benefiting the town.
