Welcome to the Hardwick [Vermont] Historical Society
Updated October 2 , 2026
The Hardwick Historical Society (HHS) is a small collecting repository and museum dedicated to preserving the history of the the town of Hardwick, its villages, businesses, and people. The HHS has its museum in the restored Hardwick Railroad Depot, where it serves researchers and exhibits materials relating to the granite and railroad industry, local schools, the Civil War, Hardwick’s business community, and its people. In addition to museum exhibits, the HHS holds its archival materials — a large collection of documents and images as well as a complete collection of Hardwick newspapers back to the mid-1890s — at the Depot. Come see us.
We opened the 2026 season on May 28 and have greeted the public on Thursday from 1:00 to 4:00 in the afternoon and from 10:00 to 2:00 on Saturdays. At 2:00, Saturday, October 10, we will close for the season.
The work of processing collections goes on year round, but the space we use in the summer has no heat. When that space becomes too cold to work in, we move our processing into the heated museum space. However, we will gladly make appointments for researchers who want to use our collections. Just send us an email at the address below, and we’ll get back to you ASAP.
