Good collection of artifacts and descriptions of life in Hillsborough over the years. The town is over 250 years old, so there's lots to look at and get to know.

Constructed during the WPA, in classic Hillborough design, this building used area field stones. The interior of this museum is well curated with the history of Hillsborough dating back to the colonial era.
