The Salisbury Historical Society operates two museums—the Hearse House Museum, which showcases a vast permanent collection of historical artifacts. On display are numerous donated items that represent Salisbury’s heritage, including the town’s horse-drawn hearse, the original post office, quilts, samplers, and more. We invite you to visit us during our summer season.
In recent years, we’ve been dedicated to increasing the visibility of our historical society’s collection through rotational displays at the Baptist Meeting House. Our goal is to enrich visitor experiences by occasionally rotating artifacts, providing a fresh perspective, and offering the chance to see numerous previously unseen items. During the winter months, we meticulously store the collection to protect it, preserving our history for future generations. We invite you to visit and immerse yourself in the rich history and presentation of our collection. We have a permanent Daniel Webster Room, as he was born, raised, educated, and married in Salisbury.
Behind the Meeting House is the Baptist Cemetery, which was laid out at the time of the building of the church, in 1791. It is easily accessible to walk through and feel the rich history.
