Andover Historical Society - Andover Historical Society

What We Do:

In 1982 a small group of Andover residents decided that Andover needed a formalized Historical Society to preserve and conserve the history of the town. Part of the impetus for their movement was the donation of an early settler's canoe that had been found in Hopkins Pond in Andover two years before. The Society was incorporated in 1982. In 1983 the Potter Place Railroad Station was donated to the Society. In 1989 the station was accepted in the National Register of Historic Places.

Services:

The Society Museum is open every weekend from Memorial Day to Columbus Day, and the Society holds several meetings throughout the year with speakers on topics of interest to the townspeople, and occasionally Historic Walks to places of interest in the town. The Society hosts the Old Time Fair the first weekend in August, with a flea market, an auction, a farmer's market, craft market and demonstrations, entertainment of various sorts, children's games, railroad handcar rides and more.
