The Hollis Historical Society, a self-sustaining non-profit, is the primary organization in Hollis that collects artifacts, books, and documents that reflect the entire history of the town, including a fascinating array of artifacts and documents from every chronological period.
The Society’s two museums include the Ruth Hills Wheeler House at 20 Main Street which Mrs. Wheeler bequeathed to the Society in 1979, and which houses much of the Society’s collections, and the nearby Always Ready Engine House Museum. The Engine House, now leased from the Town, was built in 1859 to house the Town fire pump. The building has now been restored as a museum for the pumper, the Town Hearse, and other special exhibits. In 1993, the Lucie Beebe Garden, located behind the Wheeler House, was dedicated.
