The Dover Historical Society, an all-volunteer association, was organized in 1895 and incorporated September 1, 1900, to collect, preserve, and exhibit such artifacts, information, and documents as will throw light on our local history. Any person may become a member by paying the dues.
The Society offers public programs and mounts a major exhibit annually at the Sawin Museum. The Caryl House offers educational programs to elementary classes at the nearby Chickering School, and programs in The Fisher Barn are being developed for that same purpose. The Society also assists members in developing material supporting the Society’s mission. Most recently, members have published a history of the Dover Union Iron Mill, and a Historical Insight series using materials in the Caryl House.
