Dear,
Waretown Historical Society Members and Friends!
As we move through August, we hope everyone has been enjoying a great summer. It has been a busy and enjoyable season, with plenty of opportunities to get outside, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy everything our community has to offer. With a few weeks of summer still ahead, we hope everyone makes the most of the warm weather and has a safe and enjoyable rest of the summer.
Mark your calendars for our upcoming events:
SUMMER FRIDAYS! Come enjoy the last of our Summer Fridays we offered this summer; the museum will be open Fridays from 1:00–3:00 p.m. Join one of our knowledgeable docents for guided tours of each exhibit and enjoy a deeper look into our collections.
Monday, August 17th, 2026, 7:30 p.m.- Regular meeting of the Waretown Historical Society. Come join us as we discuss business & continue announcing upcoming events in recognition of our town’s 150th birthday celebration!
We will be having an Executive Board Meeting; see you at 7:00 pm
All members are encouraged to continue reviewing our bylaws and writing down any suggestions or recommendations for the Bylaw Committee to consider. The committee has been in the review process and is carefully evaluating what updates or changes may be needed. Your input is valuable as we work together to ensure our organization continues to grow and succeed.
