The Berlin
Historical Society was founded at a meeting on April 15,
1982 and we have been meeting continually since that date.
Our meetings are generally held on the 4th Tuesday of most every month
at the Berlin Town Hall. We now have permanent space in the
newly renovated town hall as well as additional space for a
display case. Our private entrance with our name on the
door is next to the town halls main entrance.
Our work
consists of collecting and cataloguing newly donated
material and developing databases of Town Records. A
partial description of our growing collection would include
information on Berlin families, cemeteries, schools,
churches, births, deaths, marriages, various Berlin related
stories and histories, as well as a general file for all
other Berlin related subjects. We are always searching for
new material related to Berlin. If you have any such
material that you are willing to share please contact us.
We have the ability to scan or copy it at our office.
We have not established regular hours
but will make appointments for anyone interested in viewing
any of our collection. Call or e-mail any of the officers
listed on this web page.
The Society has published a Berlin
History entitled "A Place to Pass Through: Berlin, Vermont
1820-1991" which is in addition to an earlier book authored
by Mary Greene Nye "Early History of Berlin, Vermont
1763-1820." Copies of the 1991 book are available for sale
at the Town Hall.
