The Heath Historical Society (HHS) is one of the oldest historical societies in Western Massachusetts. The history of the Heath Historical Society is indelibly linked with the Old Town House built in 1834 by David Snow as a result of the Massachusetts Legislature’s passing the 11th Amendment to the State’s Constitution separating church and state. Town meetings were held in the Town House until about 1897. In 1898 and 1899 there were proposals to sell the Old Town House, but some of the townspeople, led by Flora and Mary White, wanted to establish a historical society.
