Who We Are:
The mission of the West Stockbridge Historical Society is to preserve and promote the history and culture of West Stockbridge through research, programming, and
community involvement.
community involvement.
What We Do:
The Old Town Hall has served as the community and cultural center for West Stockbridge since 1854. We are restoring the building to its rightful place at the heart of our town by sponsoring and hosting events, art shows, theater, historical programs, and concerts. We are proud to be carrying on this tradition.
What's Happening:
Update: The Campaign to Restore the Old Town Hall
We’ve been working for over a decade to restore the 1854 Town Hall and transform it into a community meeting place, local museum, research library, and performance space. With tremendous support from individual donors and state and regional foundations, we’ve raised over $850,000 and can see the end of the restoration process in sight (though we’ve also learned that caring for an 1854 building is never done!).
