Internal Collections & How to Search Them
The Rutland Historical Society is not a county society but services the area of the "old" Town of Rutland which today includes the City of Rutland and the towns of Proctor, Rutland, and West Rutland. Our collections focus on these towns and the majority are located on the second floor of our historic Nickwackett Fire Station building. Upon request, materials are available for use.
We have created these Finding Aid lists to help search our collections that are accessible to the public upon visiting.
