About the Society

Formation of the Atkinson Historical Society

At a meeting held November 12, 1954, in the Atkinson Congregational Church, Reverend Roland D. Sawyer spoke on the value of a town historical society. There were 28 individuals in attendance. Evidently, Reverend Sawyer was persuasive, for those present voted unanimously to form the Atkinson Historical Society.

-To restore, replace and preserve by any method necessary, on site or by moving, historical objects of any kind, such as monuments, buildings, gravestones, etc.
