Wolfeboro Historical Society Digital Archive Photograph Archive Clark Museum Complex

The Clark Museum Complex consists of four separate buildings. 1-The Clark House was built on the present site in 1778, part of a 100 acre farm extending from South Main St. to the lakeshore. Used as a tavern (sleeping and eating in those days), the Widow Evans sold it to Joseph Clark in 1817. It was the Clark family homestead for 3 generations (100 years) until Greenleaf Clark donated it to the Town in 1917 to become a living history museum. 2-The Pleasant Valley one-room Schoolhouse was built about 1805, used as a school until 1910, then as a community center into the 1940's. In 1959, it was moved to the Museum site and restored. 3-The Monitor Engine Company Firehouse replica was completed in 1982 and houses a number of restored hand pumpers and hose wagons used in Wolfeboro from the mid-1800's, as well as an 1875 steam driven Amoskeag fire engine. 4-A rebuilt 1820's barn, completed in 2018, which has an eclectic exhibit of period articles as well as an extensive collection of historic research information.
