The purpose of the Society is to cultivate and encourage an interest in the history of Phillipston and to establish and maintain a museum. The Society renovated the former Methodist Church on State Road as a museum and in 2013 moved it ¼ mile down the road to a new location with space for expansion. Also in 2013 the society acquired land at the Goulding Village site in east Phillipston and is developing the site to showcase the industrial past of the town. In 2007 the Society published The Spirit of Phillipston, a fascinating history of the town - 352 pages and over 700 photos. The book can be purchased from the Society (Tel: 978-939-5656 ). Throughout the year, the Society holds regular programs that are open to the public. |
