About the Historical Society

Welcome to the Belmont, Massachusetts Historical Society website. The Belmont Historical Society is the primary group that preserves and maintains the history of the town. It manages the Claflin Room, which houses many important items of local history, including two murals, original art, town reports, books by Belmont authors, materials related to the town and historical artifacts. Our mission is to help Belmont understand and contribute to its history. If you'd like to become a contributing member of the Society, please contact us. The public at large is invited to create an account and comment on what you see here. In the near future we should have a section for contributions, Belmont-themed merchandise and all sorts of interesting things.
