About Us

The Weymouth Historical Society was founded in 1879. The Society is a non-profit organization funded by donations, fundraising, and membership dues. The Society maintains and operates the Weymouth Historical Museum and the Jason Holbrook Homestead. We are governed by a 12 member Executive Board consisting of a President, Vice President, Treasurer, Executive Secretary, Librarian, and 6 Directors. The Executive Board is elected annually by the membership and work under the Society's Constitution & By-Laws. The Executive Board, Homestead Committee, Museum Committee, and Genealogists all volunteer their time which leaves all our funding for maintenance and preservation
