WELCOME TO THE NORTH ANDOVER HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Established in 1913, the North Andover Historical Society remains dedicated in its mission to discover, preserve, and share the unique history of North Andover. Throughout the years, our mission has evolved, yet one thing remains unchanged - our commitment to bringing history to life for our community in North Andover, the Merrimack Valley, and beyond.

We invite you to join us! Visit our Stevens Center Building, across from the town common to explore our 1646 Bookstore or enjoy a meal at Diane’s Café on the Common or check our exhibits.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the support of members and donors. Your support enables us to continue important mission focused activities, such as ensuring the care of our collections, conducting research for interpretation and exhibits, and preserving our beloved historic properties, and most importantly, helping to continue to save and share North Andover’s history for the next generation!

Don’t miss out - become a member today and enjoy membership benefits.
