Do you remember what you were doing on January 8, 2002?
The date may be just another day to you, but to the Bristol Historical Society it was the beginning of a renewed commitment to the community. We became the owners of the original Bristol High School and began to turn the deteriorated historic 1890 Victorian structure into a vibrant community and cultural center.
Fast-forward six years and the transformation is well on its way. An aggressive grants program has brought in $500,000 in the past three years. That, along with the generosity of many supporters has allowed the Historical Society to complete the first five phases of the renovation. These critical projects have included the installation of a sprinkler and fire alarm systems, an electrical upgrade, HVAC improvements, new lavatories, roof repairs, kitchen renovations, a handicapped ramp and aesthetic improvements to the first floor.
The progress has been the result of a dedicated group of people who believe that the history of Bristol is important. The building is alive and bustling with visitors viewing the exhibits and attending the twice-monthly programs offered to the public. The Memorial Military Museum and the Bristol Sports Hall of Fame now call the Historical Society home and have their collections displayed in their own galleries. We sponsor Boy Scout Troop #9 and welcome the Bristol Federal Hill Association, City of Bristol Cemetery Commission, and the Grace Covenant Church to our meetinghouse.
But there is still more to do, and we need your help. It costs $178 a day to keep the Historical Society Museum open. We ask you to join the list of donors. Your tax-ductible donation will be used to: maintain our current programs and collection, support general operations, and continue the preservation of this landmark building.
Thank you for recognizing the importance of our history and future growth.
