Why Support Historic Northampton?
Because history matters. It deepens our understanding of our community and our connection to it—and it helps us understand the history of our nation.
Your support and involvement helps us to:
- Preserve our collections
- Conduct research
- Offer programs and exhibits
- Train the next generation of historians
- Strengthen our connections to Northampton.
At Historic Northampton, we’re committed to telling all of Northampton’s past through our artifacts, the local landscape, and our community’s stories.
