This is the present home of the Westminster Historical Society.  

Westminster Historical Society's mission is to save and share Westminster's past.  To do that we collect and preserve artifacts and make them accessible to the public through exhibits and public programs.  

We assist people with research projects using our collections of photos, maps, books and artifacts telling about Westminster's past.  If you have a question about Westminster, contact us!

The Westminster Historical Society also supports projects that strengthen and preserve the small town characteristics that make Westminster  unique and special to residents and visitors alike.  

Westminster is nestled at the foot of Mount Wachusett, the highest mountain in central Massachusetts. The Town is approximately 37 square miles and the land is approximately 1000 feet above sea level.  A significant portion of the land is owned by the Commonwealth, and many lakes and rivers create a large watershed for the Nashua River.  Westminster is 45 miles west of Boston and lies on both the Old Boston Turnpike and the historic Mohawk Trail.  Westminster was unsettled territory in the 18th Century.  The land was designated to be given as payment to Soldiers who fought in the French and Indian War, but many were not interested in leaving the comforts of home to settle in the New England wilderness.
