Membership in the Farmington Historical Society helps promote interest in town history. We continue to develop and implement programs for the community that bring history to life.

In the past few years:

• Amistad Tours  – Our updated tours this year attracted a multitude of visitors including our students, neighbors and travelers from out of state to learn about the sites associated with the Amistad Africans.
• Revolutionary War Encampment  – featuring Sheldon’s Horse at the Farmington Polo Grounds
• Our Happy Birthday America program in July honored local Veterans for their service.
• The Old Stone School House was open for visitors during July and August with docents presenting its history.
• Our annual Scarecrow Festival was held in October for families to celebrate the fall season.
• Fisk Jubilee Singers in collaboration with The Mark Twain House performed at First Church of Christ in honor of the 175th anniversary of the Amistad captives stay in Farmington.

Ongoing activities include continued research on all of Farmington’s history including the Amistad story, archival work, and help answering your questions. In addition, the Board has developed a three year strategic plan to guide us through channels of development.
