About the Society
Formation of the Atkinson Historical Society
At a meeting held November 12, 1954, in the Atkinson Congregational Church, Reverend Roland D. Sawyer spoke on the value of a town historical society. There were 28 individuals in attendance. Evidently, Reverend Sawyer was persuasive, for those present voted unanimously to form the Atkinson Historical Society.
