Winchester Historical Society

Winchester Historical Society You might know us as the Sheridan House! Because volunteer availability may change, please check Facebook for any changes in hours.

It is the purpose of the Winchester Historical Society to engage in research relating to the Town of Winchester, New Hampshire, to gather and preserve historical and genealogical data and artifacts, to promote research pertaining to the town's history, by other individuals and organizations and to increase the awareness and interest of the public in the town's history. Visiting the Sheridan House:


The Sheridan House, once home to Hugh Sheridan, owner of the Ashuelot Manufacturing Company across the river, is run by volunteers to share artifacts relating to Winchester and Ashuelot. Admission is by donation, so we ask that you reschedule your visit if you are not feeling well. Unless otherwise directed for public safety, masking is by visitor discretion and volunteers will mask if requested. The Sheridan House was built in the 1870s and electrified in the 1900s. While there have been families living in and upgrading the house before the 2000s, there are still many upgrades needed to ensure all visitors will be able to access the entire museum. Please be aware that there is no air conditioning, so the second floor may be unpleasant in the heat of summer.

We are saddened to post that long-time board member to the historical society, Elena Heiden, passed away this last Sunday.

Wi******er, as a whole, has lost a vital contributor to our community, but the historical society's loss will be most keenly felt in the immediacy and then immeasurably in the future. She was a great friend to us and Wi******er through her advocacy to preserve Wi******er and Ashuelot's history.

There will be a wake held at Kidder Funeral Parlor, 1 Parker Ave. in Northfield, MA, on Monday, June 15, 9:15 to 10:15am.

There will be a mass held at St. Patrick's Church, Main St., also in Northfield, MA, at 11am.
