Founded in 1966, the Bethel Historical Society provides visitors with a doorway to the past from its Regional History Center in historic Bethel Hill Village. The Society's Center consists of two adjoining properties on Broad Street — the 1821 O’Neil Robinson House and the 1813 Dr. Moses Mason House, both listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Open year-round during regular hours and by appointment, the Society's Regional History Center offers more than a dozen period rooms and exhibit galleries where visitors can discover the region's colorful and varied past. The Society's museum and library collections include a wide range of materials documenting the rich heritage of northern New England, with major concentrations devoted to the history of western Maine and the White Mountains. The Research Library contains an outstanding collection of manuscripts and photographs, and is available to both members and non-members for historical and genealogical research. Throughout the year, the Bethel Historical Society provides lectures, conferences, craft demonstrations, special events, and educational activities for members and the general public throughout the year.
