The Main Street Museum
Our two-story museum at 3216 Main Street occupies a former village schoolhouse. Both floors are filled with artifacts and exhibits related to Cabot's history. The building keeps its nineteenth-century character, which includes original woodwork and a domed auditorium on the second floor with a stage and a restored painted stage curtain. Downstairs, a wood stove warms the ground floor in cool weather. We maintain a research center on the first floor with photographs, newspaper clippings, manuscripts, and digital records for those exploring family or local history.
The West Hill Schoolhouse
Our restored one-room schoolhouse recreates a New England school of the 1800s, complete with period books, desks, and school maps. It is open by appointment and makes a wonderful stop for families and school groups.
Events & Meetings
The Society holds meetings from May through October and offers seasonal programs and exhibits through the summer. To confirm current hours, arrange a group visit, or ask about upcoming events, please get in touch — we're always glad to hear from you.
Before You Come
