Founded in 1973 the Guilford Historical Society is a membership group, whose purpose is to preserve for posterity items and places that serve as resources to study and interpret our community, its environment, and its people. Its museum, located in the original town hall, holds an extensive collection of written records, photographs, and historic objects. In addition, the Society owns and maintains the 1837 Universalist Meeting House and the Brick Guilford Center School House. These, along with the Broad Brook Community Center (formerly Broad Brook Grange) and the Guilford Free Library as well as several old houses, represent the core of the historic Guilford Center. But Guilford is made up of many neighborhoods and villages, each with a unique history to explore.
