Mission

To preserve the history of Cabot, Vermont.

History

Cabot Historical Society began in autumn 1965. Interested ladies met at Mrs. Abbie Orne's home. They elected officers: Mrs. Beatrice Perry, president; Mrs. Abbie Orne, vice president; Mrs. Helen Wellman, secretary; and Mrs. Ruth Peck, treasurer. The first project was researching Cabot's early settlers. The first fund raiser was a food sale. The few artifacts owned by the historical society were kept at the Willey Building. Dues were 25 cents. Historical Society Formed

More historical details are available on the museum website.
