The Dover Historical Society is a non-profit organization which operates on funds received from memberships and donations. Without donations from residents and friends of Dover, we could not fulfill our mission to preserve and exhibit our history.

We use our funds to maintain and operate the Sawin Museum, owned by the Society, to operate the Caryl House and Fisher Barn and to maintain and conserve our collections at all 3 locations. The Caryl House and Fisher Barn are owned and maintained by the Town.

Consider adopting or contributing to one of the projects currently on our wish list:

• Put up our Hodgson Shed on the Sawin Museum site.
• Repair the stone wall on the west side of the Caryl House driveway. Estimated cost $3000.
• Conservation of Dr. George Caryl's (Rev. Caryl's son) leather saddlebag
  Estimate being sought
• Oil & electricity at the Sawin Museum or Caryl House
  $300 for one month
• Clean Sawin Museum and Caryl House
  $360 per month
• Conserve the Everett Civil War flag which last flew from 56 Farm St to celebrate the April 9, 1865 surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. Estimated cost $25,000 plus construction of a space in which to display it.
