Welcome to the CHS
The Cambridge Historical Society has been a repository of history and culture for over 100 years. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting an interest in all aspects of the history and heritage of Cambridge.
Cambridge has only two buildings that date to the 1600s. One of them needs some work.
Help us preserve one of Cambridge's oldest buildings
Our 2013 Capital Campaign is going strong. We have raised $155,000 as of June 1st but we need your help to reach our goal of $250,000.
