“Why do you struggle so mightily in the present for the immediate future, if the struggle is not worthy of record? Where can these records and relics be kept where they will be available to all, but in the custody of an historical society dedicated to that purpose?”
– Howard Cooke, first president of the Athol Historical Society.
So thought a small group of citizens who gathered in the directors’ room of the Athol Co-operative Bank on July 25, 1953. They formed the Athol Historical Society, which was incorporated December 14, 1953. Mrs. Eida Limbach Waterman provided free quarters to the Society until September 9, 1957, at which time your Historical Society purchased from the Town of Athol, for one dollar, the old Town Hall at the corner of Main and Liberty Streets.
