Description
"A century ago, a group of far-sighted trustees of the Abbot Public Library recognized the need to collect and preserve materials relating to Marblehead and its people. To accomplish this, they formed a private organization that would be continually fostered by a large and active membership and they named it the Historical Society of Marblehead...The 1879 publication of The History and Traditions of Marblehead by Samuel Roads, Jr. reinforced the town's fierce pride in its history and the need to preserve it."
"From presidents to doorkeepers and from fundraising to flower arranging, volunteers have made substantial and subtle contributions to the Marblehead Historical Society. Hunderds of willing workers have responded to its needs bringing their skills and talents to the tasks at hand."
In 2003, the Marblehead Historical Society changed its name to the Marblehead Museum & Historical Society to reflect its museum-quality collection and professional approach to exhibits, research, preservation and education.
