Amherst Historical Society
Facility
The Amherst Historical Society promotes and educates the public about the history of the City of Amherst and surrounding towns, as well as the history of the area's once-important sandstone industry. The Society also offers educational programs, and works to preserve locally-produced sandstone architecture and other historically significant structures.
Current Project
The Society has a $35,000 state appropriation in Am. Sub. H.B. 16 of the 126th General Assembly that it intends to use for improvements at its 6.5-acre Sandstone Museum Center. Potential projects include the revitalization of an old water tower, renovation of a 1925 caboose, and construction of a historical display of a train derailment that occurred in the town.
