The Ashby Historical Society collects, preserves and displays the artifacts and papers that describe early Ashby.  Members work to promote interest in the town's early history and to educate the public on the connections of that history to current life in Ashby.  To that end AHS maintains a museum in the Old Engine House at 946 Main Street. Members meet periodically with students from the Ashby Elementary School nearby.  In addition to public programs involving speakers and exhibits, there is at least one major fund raiser each year--house tours, barn tours, and musical events are recent examples.  The AHS meets the first Tuesday of each month at the home of a member.  Florence Bryan is the contact person at the above phone number.
