Welcome to the Plainville Historical Society

 

Keeping Local History Alive Through Preservation, Inspiration, and Education

Established in 1968 under the leadership of the legendary Ruth Hummel, the Plainville Historical Society has been keeping local history alive for over 50 years. Our goal is to accomplish this through:

 

  • Collecting and preserving resources including documents, photographs, memorabilia, or other objects related to Plainville or considered to be relevant Americana.
  • Providing public accessibility to the Plainville Historic Center which the Society maintains as a research center, museum, offices, and store.​
  • Promoting interest in local history through programs, media, education, and personalized assistance with research and genealogy.

Current Hours: Mondays and Wednesdays 10 AM - 1 PM.  Other times by appointment.          

In Celebration of

Women's  History Month

2024 

 

Join us on Saturday March 23rd for our program on Women in Sports. This program will be presented live via GoogleMeet by Louisa Iacurci from the Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame.

 

Louisa will chronicle the history of women in sports from the early Olympics to modern day.  She will then highlight nine amazing women athletes from right here in Connecticut.

 

The Historical Society is also putting together items featuring Plainville women in sports. Doors open at 1:00 PM so consider coming early to see these displayed items. 

 

The program will take place in the meeting room on the second floor. Elevator access is available.
