The Woonsocket Historical Society has been in existence since 1915. It is dedicated to the preservation of the history of the City of Woonsocket, it’s people and it’s rich industrial past. Knowing that the past is vital to a healthy and progressive society we collect, document, preserve and exhibit historical treasures. Toward that end, we look for opportunities to educate and engage a diverse community through a variety of programs that make history meaningful, accessible and enjoyable; thereby empowering others to help preserve the history of Woonsocket.
