The North Andover Historical Society’s mission is to be a hub for culture, history, preservation, and community engagement. Using its multiple properties, the Society hosts programs and collects, preserves, and shares material that reflects the region’s identity, excites the imagination, and promotes a sustainable society. With its roots as a history-focused educational institution, the Society has been, and remains, an active and vibrant center of activity for those who call North Andover and the greater Merrimack Valley home.
