About Colchester Historical Society:
Founded in 1963, the mission of the Colchester Historical Society is to educate and enlighten the public to the history of Colchester, and to protect and preserve our architecture and memorabilia.
It is the goal of the Colchester Historical Society to increase citizen and community awareness of the unique heritage of Colchester and the region. The Society owns and maintains the Reverend John Ballard House Museum and the Zagray Homestead. In addition, the Society has been instrumental in the preservation of numerous buildings in Colchester, notably the Old Town hall, now the home of Colchester's Youth Services Center, and in conjunction with the Bacon Academy Board of Trustees, the society helps to maintain the Nathaniel Foote House on Norwich Avenue and Old Bacon Academy. The Society has financially supported the restoration of the Colchester Burying Ground, and restoration of the gravestone of Revolutionary War patriot Colonel Henry Champion.
