Located on historic Church Green in Taunton, Massachusetts, the Old Colony History Museum is home to an extensive collection of regional objects and archives and a research library specializing in local history and genealogy. It's parent organization, the Old Colony Historical Society, was founded on May 4, 1853, making it one of New England's oldest historical societies.
We are open year-round Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., and offer many exciting exhibitions, activities, programs, research opportunities and, most importantly, an inspiring setting for visitors from around the block and around the world.
Mostly, we are about sharing our history with our community and look forward to showing you around sometime soon.
