Collect. Preserve. Share.
The Athenæum is a non-profit member supported organization, established in 1816 and incorporated the following year with the “purpose of promoting learning and diffusing useful knowledge.” It continues a long tradition of mutual improvement by maintaining a library of over 40,000 volumes and an archive of materials relating to local history. It also sponsors exhibitions, concerts, lectures, and other educational and cultural programs.
