Canterbury Historical Society's Revamped Website Launched on October 10, 2014

Welcome to our revamped website site. The new site represents a facelift, but if were familiar with the old site, you should still be able to easily find what you’re looking for here. We’re also providing links to archived postings of our past programs and news on the legacy website for easy access. Happily, the website is only one of our online sites. Give the others—Facebook and our brand new Twitter presence—a look if you’re not familiar with them. They both represent our lighter, somewhat unpredictable side while providing lots of images, area news and happenings, and historical insights.
