The Cohasset Historical Society was founded in 1928 to preserve the history of our town for future generations. The society has collected artifacts, books, diaries and paintings, to name a few items, that preserve the past in our museums and archives, so that Cohasset’s history will live for future generations.

Our society has one of the largest collections of women’s and girl’s clothing from the early 1800’s throughout the mid 1900’s. The Society’s Helen Howes Vosoff collection of theatrical artifacts records the history of summer performing arts in Cohasset from its start in the 1800’s to its present day South Shore Music Circus.
