Arundel Historical Society

Whether you’ve just moved to town or have lived here for generations, the Arundel Historical Society is here to help you explore the rich history that makes our town unique. We’re not just about dusty archives or old photographs (though we have plenty of those, too!) – we’re a friendly, local hub where stories come to life, neighbors become friends, and the past helps shape our future.

Fostering a connection between Arundel’s community and Arundel’s history.

What We Do

As a volunteer-run, nonprofit organization, our mission is simple: to preserve, protect, and share the history of Arundel in a way that’s meaningful and accessible to everyone.

We collect and care for historical photographs, maps, letters, tools, and artifacts made and used by Arundel residents. But some of the most valuable parts of our history live in the memories of longtime locals. That’s why we also gather stories, conduct interviews, and work to preserve the living history that might otherwise be lost.

Whether you’re researching your home, diving into family genealogy, or just interested in how Arundel grew from farms and footpaths to the community we know today – there’s a place for you here.

New to Arundel? You’ve just settled in a town with deep roots and a rich story. The Arundel Historical Society is here to help you connect with the people, places, and history that make our town special. We’re more than a collection of old photos and documents – we’re a community of neighbors working together to preserve our shared heritage and pass it on.
