WHS By-Laws as amended by membership vote, May 2021

History of the Society
The Wolfeboro Historical Society was formed September 1, 1925 and incorporated August 31, 1926.  Its by-laws were developed by J.T. Meader, Miss L. Maude Cate and Mrs. Mabel Hatch and approved August 13, 1929. The Society has leased  the Clark House from the Town of Wolfeboro since July 7, 1927. In 1959 the Town gave the Society a lease on the Pleasant Valley Schoolhouse when it was moved to the Clark House grounds. The firehouse was added to the Clark Museum Complex in 1982. Currently  the Clark Museum Complex, consisting of four buildings with the recent addition of the Barn, is owned by the Town of Wolfeboro and is operated by the Wolfeboro Historical Society. A 2006 presentation by Jim Rogers to the BOS gained approval to reconstruct an antique 1820's barn on the property. The barn construction was completed and opened to the public on July 3, 2018. The Board of Selectmen accepted the donation of the barn from WHS to the Town of Wolfeboro on November 7, 2018.
