Since its founding in 1972, the West Boylston Historical Society has served the town by researching and preserving our unique history. We are based at our headquarters at 65 Worcester Street in the historic Bigelow Tavern.

The West Boylston Historical Society is dedicated to preserving and honoring the town's history through programs, exhibitions, collections and publications. We operate the 18th-century Bigelow Tavern as our headquarters and museum.

The Society was founded in 1972 "to keep alive and increase interest in the early history of the town of West Boylston and its people, to preserve in enduring form its items of general value in local history, as well as traditions and curiosities, and to encourage general public interest in the work."

Some of the Society's successes, in conjunction with the West Boylston Historic Commission include assistance with the historic preservation of The Old Stone Church, the Bigelow Tavern Historic District, the Jacob Winn Barn, Holbrook Chapel and Mount Vernon Cemetery, Oakdale Historic District, and the Bicentennial Bell Garden.
