We have been collecting Canton's History since 1871, and chartered by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1893. Our collections begin with artifacts from the late 1600's through today. Highlights of our collection include a strong understanding of industry, military conflicts and daily life in Canton, Massachusetts.  We are a non-profit museum, archives and educational institution dedicated to preserving our history and place.
