The New Hartford Historical Society is dedicated to preserving New Hartford's history, and preserving the artifacts related to New Hartford. The Society also promotes interest and education in New Hartford's history.

The Society holds lectures, meetings and other gatherings to discuss and educate residents about our Town. We work with historians (amatur and professional) to promote research on a wide variety of history. In addition, the Society goes into the New Hartford Schools to help make the history of our town come alive for the students.

We also help to define what has made and continues to make our town such a unique and special place.
