The Hancock New Hampshire Historical Society is a non-profit organization incorporated in 1903 by twenty-seven founders.

The purpose of the Society is to collect and preserve valuable manuscripts and artifacts relating to the history of Hancock and its people. The collection is housed in the Society's building on Main Street, Hancock.

The house, property and museum are maintained entirely by society volunteers as a public trust and a community service. The collection of archives and artifacts are the treasures of Hancock's past and include such items as furniture, china, glass, military items, musical instruments, a large collection of tools, manuscripts, photographs, paintings, textiles and more.

In addition to the permanent displays, there are changing exhibits each summer.
