Historical Museum and Library
The BH&PS is an active membership organization with monthly lectures from September through June, guided walking tours from spring through fall, Sunday afternoon teas, tours of the collections and special displays throughout the year. The Library is visited by local residents and university students as well as people from around the world doing genealogical, deed and other research.
Founded in 1936 to promote interest in historical research and preservation, to stimulate the study of the history of Southern New England, especially the Town of Bristol, to collect and preserve whatever pertains thereto, and to provide museum quarters for the exhibition of the same and a meeting space for our members.
