Nahs EVENTS
Members of the North Andover Historical Society enjoy free access to our programs as a benefit of membership. If you are not a member, please consider joining the Society. For the price of three programs, an individual membership will enable you to enjoy our programs for a full twelve months! A $10 registration fee will be charged for non-members for many of our programs which enables us to continue to enhance the quality of our events and expand our offerings.
As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the support of our members, which enables us to continue important mission-focused activities and help save and share North Andover and our region's history for future generations.
We participate in the Mass. Cultural Council's Card to Culture program and provide free access to most programs. Please contact NAHS for more information.
