ABOUT UNION HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Union Historical Society was founded in 1972. Its mission is: to collect and
preserve historical documents, relics and records of Union; to make these archives
and artifacts available for the use, education and pleasure of the community;
to produce published material pertaining to the history of Union; to manage
and preserve buildings owned by the Union Historical Society; and to hold regular
meetings which, through programs and social activities, will stimulate interest
in and promote the work of the Union Historical Society.
Our buildings
The Union Historical Society owns and maintains two buildings. The Robbins House,
located on Union Common, is the Society's home. An 1849 Greek Revival home,
it was purchased and renovated by the Society in 1975. The Old Town House on
Town House Road is a classic New England meeting house and was built in 1840.
