Ongoing Community Programs
The Society operates and manages the Museum of Farmington History at the Goodwin Library.
The Society annually awards a $500 scholarship to a graduating Farmington High School senior. The Society published the pictorial book Images of America - Farmington, available at the library for $16.99.  We also have a written History of Farmington NH, available at the library for $5.00.

Genealogy Records
The Historical Society does not maintain historical records of residents and families previously living in Farmington.  The Goodwin Library does have a few records from local cemeteries.  While we welcome questions of any kind, and will try to answer them as best we can, please contact the town offices and Goodwin Library first, if you are conducting genealogical searches.  They are more equipped to help you with your genealogy questions than we might be.
